< Luke 13 >

1 Were present now some at the same time telling to Him about the Galileans of whom the blood Pilate mingled with the sacrifices of them.
Just at that time people came to tell Him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And answering (Jesus *k*) He said to them; Think you that Galileans these sinners beyond all the Galileans were because (these things *N(k)O*) they have suffered?
"Do you suppose," He asked in reply, "that those Galilaeans were worse sinners than the mass of the Galilaeans, because this happened to them?
3 No, I say to you, but only unless you shall repent, all (likewise *N(k)O*) you will perish.
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you are not penitent you will all perish as they did.
4 Or those (eighteen eighteen *N(k)(o)*) on whom fell the tower in Siloam and killed them, think you that (these *N(k)O*) debtors were beyond all (the *no*) men who are dwelling (in *k*) in Jerusalem?
Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fell, do you suppose they had failed in their duty more than all the rest of the people who live in Jerusalem?
5 No, I say to you, but only unless (you shall repent, *NK(o)*) all (likewise *N(k)O*) you will perish.
I tell you, certainly not. On the contrary, if you do not repent you will all perish just as they did."
6 He was speaking then this parable: A fig tree had a certain [man] planted in the vineyard of him and he came seeking fruit on it and not did find [any].
And He gave them the following parable. "A man," He said, "who had a fig-tree growing in his garden came to look for fruit on it and could find none.
7 He said then to the vinedresser; Behold three years throughout these I come seeking fruit on fig tree this and not do find [any]; do cut down (therefore *NO*) it; so why so why even the ground should it use up?
So he said to the gardener, "'See, this is the third year I have come to look for fruit on this fig-tree and cannot find any. Cut it down. Why should so much ground be actually wasted?'
8 And answering he says to him; Sir, do leave it also this the year, until when I may dig around it and may put [in] (manure; *N(k)O*)
"But the gardener pleaded, "'Leave it, Sir, this year also, till I have dug round it and manured it.
9 and perhaps and perhaps indeed it shall bear fruit in the [time] soon happening. lest however except yet you will cut down it.
If after that it bears fruit, well and good; if it does not, then you shall cut it down.'"
10 He was now teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbaths.
Once He was teaching on the Sabbath in one of the synagogues
11 And behold a woman (was *k*) a spirit having of infirmity years (eighteen eighteen *N(k)O*) And she was bent over and not able to lift up herself to the full.
where a woman was present who for eighteen years had been a confirmed invalid: she was bent double, and was unable to lift herself to her full height.
12 Having seen then her Jesus called [her] near and He said to her; Woman, you have been freed from the sickness of you.
But Jesus saw her, and calling to her, He said to her, "Woman, you are free from your weakness."
13 And He laid upon her the hands, and immediately she was made straight and was begining to glorify God.
And He put His hands on her, and she immediately stood upright and began to give glory to God.
14 Answering now the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because on the Sabbath healed Jesus, he was saying to the crowd (that *no*) Six days there are in which it behooves to work; in (these *N(k)O*) therefore coming do be healed and not on the day of the Sabbath.
Then the Warden of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured her on a Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days in the week on which people ought to work. On those days therefore come and get yourselves cured, and not on the Sabbath day."
15 Answered (therefore *N(k)O*) to him the Lord and said; Hypocrites! Each one of you on the Sabbath not does he untie the ox of him or the donkey from the stall, and (having led [it] away *NK(o)*) give [it] drink?
But the Lord's reply to him was, "Hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his bullock or his ass from the stall and lead him to water?
16 This now a daughter of Abraham being whom has bound Satan behold ten and eight years, not she was being able to be loosed from bond this on the day of the Sabbath?
And this woman, daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan had bound for no less than eighteen years, was she not to be loosed from this chain because it is the Sabbath day?"
17 And these things when is saying He were ashamed all those opposed to Him, and all the crowd was rejoicing at all the glorious things which were being done by Him.
When He had said this, all His opponents were ashamed, while the whole multitude was delighted at the many glorious things continually done by Him.
18 He was saying (then: *N(k)O*) To what like is the kingdom of God? And to what will I liken it?
This prompted Him to say, "What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what shall I compare it?
19 Like it is to a grain of mustard which having taken a man cast into garden his own, and it grew and it became a tree (great *KO*) and the birds of the air encamped in the branches of it.
It is like a mustard seed which a man drops into the soil in his garden, and it grows and becomes a tree in whose branches the birds roost."
20 And again He said; To what will I liken the kingdom of God?
And again He said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
21 Like it is to leaven which having taken a woman (hid *NK(o)*) in of meal measures three until it was leavened all.
It is like yeast which a woman takes and buries in a bushel of flour, to work there till the whole is leavened."
22 And He was going through by towns and villages teaching and progress making toward Jerusalem.
He was passing through town after town and village after village, steadily proceeding towards Jerusalem,
23 Said then one to Him; Lord, if [are] few those being saved? And He said to them;
when some one asked Him, "Sir, are there but few who are to be saved?"
24 do strive to enter in through the narrow (door; *N(K)O*) for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and not will be able.
"Strain every nerve to force your way in through the narrow gate," He answered; "for multitudes, I tell you, will endeavour to find a way in and will not succeed.
25 From what maybe may have risen up the master of the house and may have shut the door then you may begin outside to have stood and to knock at the door saying; lord (lord, *K*) do open to us; And he answering will say to you; Not I do know you from where are;
As soon as the Master of the house shall have risen and shut the door, and you have begun to stand outside and knock at the door and say, "'Sir, open the door for us' --"'I do not know you,' He answers; 'you are no friends of mine.'
26 Then will you begin to say; We ate in presence of you and drank, and in the streets of us you taught;
"Then you will plead, "'We have eaten and drunk in your company and you have taught in our streets.'
27 And he will speak; (saying *N(k)O*) to you; not I do know you from where you are, do depart from me all [you] (*k*) workers (*k*) of unrighteousness.
"But He will reply, "'I tell you that you are no friends of mine. Begone from me, all of you, wrongdoers that you are.'
28 There will be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth when (you may behold *NK(o)*) Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, you however are being cast out.
"There will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being driven far away.
29 And they will come from east and west and from north and south and will recline in the kingdom of God.
They will come from east and west, from north and south, and will sit down at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
30 And behold there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
And I tell you that some now last will then be first, and some now first will then be last."
31 In same the (hour *N(K)O*) came near certain Pharisees saying to Him; do go out and do proceed from here, for Herod desires You to kill.
Just at that time there came some Pharisees who warned Him, saying, "Leave this place and continue your journey; Herod means to kill you."
32 And He said to them; Having gone do say to the fox that; Behold I cast out demons and cures (I complete *N(k)O*) today and tomorrow and on the third [day] I am perfected.
"Go," He replied, "and take this message to that fox: "'See, to-day and to-morrow I am driving out demons and effecting cures, and on the third day I finish my course.'
33 But it behooves Me today and tomorrow and to the [day] following to proceed, for not it is possible [for] a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
"Yet I must continue my journey to-day and to-morrow and the day following; for it is not conceivable that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem Jerusalem, You who [are] killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her, how often I have wanted to gather those children of you that way a hen [gathers] her own brood under the wings, and not you were willing?
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou who murderest the Prophets and stonest those who have been sent to thee, how often have I desired to gather thy children just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
35 Behold is left to you the house of you (desolate. Amen *K*) I say now to you (that: *k*) certainly not shall you see Me until (when *k*) ([the time] will come *N(k)O*) when you may say; Blessed [is] the [One] coming in [the] name of [the] Lord.’
See, your house is left to you. But I tell you that you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
