不悔改则灭亡

13 正在那时候,有些人前来告诉耶稣有关加利利人的事,就是彼拉多加利利人的血与他们的祭物混在一起的事。 耶稣[a]回答他们,说:“你们以为这些加利利人如此受害,是因为他们比其他[b]所有加利利人更有罪吗? 不是的。我告诉你们:你们如果不悔改,都会同样地灭亡。 或者,西罗亚楼倒塌压死的那十八个人,你们以为他们比所有住在耶路撒冷的人更有罪吗? 不是的。我告诉你们:你们如果不悔改,都会同样灭亡。”

无花果树的比喻

于是耶稣讲了这个比喻:“一个人有一棵无花果树栽在自己的葡萄园里。当他过来,在那树上找果子时,却找不到, 就对园丁说:‘你看,一连三年,我在这无花果树上找果子,都找不到。把它砍了吧!何必让它白占土地?’

“但是园丁回答,对他说:‘主人,今年再留着它吧。等我在它周围挖掘,施些粪肥, 或许它来年真会结出果子,否则,你就砍了它。’”

治愈驼背的妇人

10 在安息日,耶稣在一个会堂里教导人, 11 看哪,有一个妇人,被邪灵附身病了十八年,一直弯着腰,完全直不起身来。 12 耶稣看见她,就招呼她,对她说:“妇人,你已经从你的疾病中被释放了!” 13 然后耶稣按手在她身上,她的腰立刻直了,她就不住地荣耀神。

14 因为耶稣在安息日使人痊愈,会堂主管就很生气,对那群人说:“应该做工的日子有六天,所以你们在那些日子来得痊愈吧!但不要在安息日这一天。”

15 主回答他,说:“你们这些伪善的人!难道你们每个人在安息日,不也是把自己的牛或驴从槽边解开,牵去饮水吗? 16 何况这妇人,做为亚伯拉罕的子孙[c],被撒旦所捆绑竟然有十八年,难道不应该在安息日这一天从捆锁中被释放吗?”

17 耶稣说了这些话,所有反对他的人都感到蒙羞,可是众人都因他所行的一切荣耀的事而感到欢喜。

芥菜种与面酵的比喻

18 于是耶稣说:“神的国好比什么呢?我要把它比做什么呢? 19 它好比一粒芥菜种子,有人拿去种在自己的园子里,种子长大,成了一棵树[d],天空的飞鸟也在它的枝子上搭窝。”

20 耶稣又说:“我要把神的国比做什么呢? 21 它好比酵母,一个妇人拿去拌在[e]三斗[f]面里,直到整团面都发了酵。”

要进窄门

22 耶稣走遍许多城镇、乡村教导人,并继续往耶路撒冷前行。 23 有一个人问他:“主啊,得救的人很少吗?”

耶稣对他们说: 24 “你们要为进窄门而争战,因为我告诉你们:将有许多人想要进去,却是不能。 25 等到那家的主人起来关了门,你们才开始站在外面敲门,说:‘主啊,请给我们开门!’主人就会回答你们,说:‘我不知道你们是从哪里来的。’ 26 那时你们就开始说:‘我们曾经在你面前吃过、喝过,你也曾经在我们的大街[g]上教导过!’ 27 他要对你们说:‘我不知道你们是从哪里来的。离开我,你们所有不义的工人!’ 28 当你们看见亚伯拉罕以撒雅各和所有的先知在神的国里,而你们却被丢在外面的时候,在那里将有哀哭和切齿。 29 人们将从东、西、南、北而来,在神的国里坐席。 30 看哪,有些在后的,将要在前;有些在前的,将要在后。”

耶稣与希律

31 就在这时候[h][i],有一些法利赛人前来对耶稣说:“你离开吧,从这里走开!因为希律想要杀你。”

32 耶稣对他们说:“你们去告诉那狐狸:看哪!今天明天我驱赶鬼魔、治愈疾病,然后在第三天,我的事就得以完成了。 33 不过今天、明天、后天,我必须往前走,因为先知不能在耶路撒冷之外被杀!

为耶路撒冷哀叹

34 耶路撒冷啊,耶路撒冷!这城杀害先知们,又用石头砸死被差到她这里的人!我多次想聚集你的儿女,像母鸡把自己的小鸡聚集在翅膀下,可是你们不愿意! 35 看哪,你们的家[j]要被废弃[k]。我[l]告诉你们:你们绝不会再见到我了,直到那日子来临,就是你们说‘奉主名而来的那一位是蒙祝福的’[m]那时候。”

13 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

13 Of the Galileans, 4 and those that were slain under Siloam. 6 The fig tree that bare no fruit. 11 The woman vexed with the spirit of infirmity, that is, with a disease brought on her by Satan, is healed. 19 The parable of the grain of mustard seed. 21 Of leaven. 23 How few shall be saved. 31 Herod that Fox.

There [a]were certain men present at the same season, that showed him of the Galileans, whose blood [b]Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answered, and said unto them, Suppose ye, that these Galileans were greater sinners than all the other Galileans, because they have suffered such things?

I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your lives, ye shall all likewise perish.

Or think you that those eighteen, upon whom the tower in [c]Siloam fell, and slew them, were sinners above all men that dwell in Jerusalem?

I tell you, nay: but except ye amend your lives, ye shall all likewise perish.

[d]He spake also this parable, A certain man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard: and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, this three years have I come and sought fruit of this fig tree, and find none: cut it down: why keepeth it also the ground [e]barren?

And he answered, and said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I dig round about it, and dung it.

And if it bear fruit, well: if not, then after thou shalt cut it down.

10 [f]And he taught in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath day.

11 And behold, there was a woman which had a [g]spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could not lift up herself in any wise.

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art [h]loosed from thy disease.

13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight again, and glorified God.

14 [i]And the [j]ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.

15 Then answered him the Lord, and said, Hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath day loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to the water?

16 And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?

17 And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: but all the people rejoiced at all the excellent things that were done by him.

18 (A)Then said he, What is the kingdom of God like? or whereto shall I compare it?

19 [k]It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and waxed a great tree, and the fowls of the heaven made nests in the branches thereof.

20 (B)And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

21 It is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three pecks of flour, till all was leavened.

22 (C)[l]And he went through all cities and towns, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem.

23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that shall be saved? And he said unto them,

24 (D)Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

25 When the good man of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye began to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are,

26 [m]Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

27 (E)But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

28 [n]There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out at doors.

29 Then shall come many from the [o]East, and from the West, and from the North, and from the South, and shall sit at Table in the kingdom of God.

30 (F)And behold, there are last, which shall be first, and there are first, which shall be last.

31 [p]The same day there came certain Pharisees, and said unto him, Depart, and go hence: for Herod will kill thee.

32 Then said he unto them, Go ye and tell that [q]fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and will heal still [r]today, and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be [s]perfected.

33 [t]Nevertheless I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a Prophet should perish out of Jerusalem.

34 (G)O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as the hen gathered her [u]brood under her wings, and ye would not.

35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I tell you, ye shall not see me until the time come that ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
