A mortandade dos galileus e a queda da torre em Siloé

13 E, naquele mesmo tempo, estavam presentes ali alguns que lhe falavam dos galileus cujo sangue Pilatos misturara com os seus sacrifícios. E, respondendo Jesus, disse-lhes: Cuidais vós que esses galileus foram mais pecadores do que todos os galileus, por terem padecido tais coisas? Não, vos digo; antes, se vos não arrependerdes, todos de igual modo perecereis. E aqueles dezoito sobre os quais caiu a torre de Siloé e os matou, cuidais que foram mais culpados do que todos quantos homens habitam em Jerusalém? Não, vos digo; antes, se vos não arrependerdes, todos de igual modo perecereis.

A parábola da figueira estéril

E dizia esta parábola: Um certo homem tinha uma figueira plantada na sua vinha e foi procurar nela fruto, não o achando. E disse ao vinhateiro: Eis que há três anos venho procurar fruto nesta figueira e não o acho; corta-a. Por que ela ocupa ainda a terra inutilmente? E, respondendo ele, disse-lhe: Senhor, deixa-a este ano, até que eu a escave e a esterque; e, se der fruto, ficará; e, se não, depois a mandarás cortar.

A cura de uma mulher paralítica

10 E ensinava no sábado, numa das sinagogas. 11 E eis que estava ali uma mulher que tinha um espírito de enfermidade havia já dezoito anos; e andava curvada e não podia de modo algum endireitar-se. 12 E, vendo-a Jesus, chamou-a a si, e disse-lhe: Mulher, estás livre da tua enfermidade. 13 E impôs as mãos sobre ela, e logo se endireitou e glorificava a Deus. 14 E, tomando a palavra o príncipe da sinagoga, indignado porque Jesus curava no sábado, disse à multidão: Seis dias há em que é mister trabalhar; nestes, pois, vinde para serdes curados e não no dia de sábado. 15 Respondeu-lhe, porém, o Senhor e disse: Hipócrita, no sábado não desprende da manjedoura cada um de vós o seu boi ou jumento e não o leva a beber água? 16 E não convinha soltar desta prisão, no dia de sábado, esta filha de Abraão, a qual dezoito anos Satanás mantinha presa? 17 E, dizendo ele isso, todos os seus adversários ficaram envergonhados, e todo o povo se alegrava por todas as coisas gloriosas que eram feitas por ele.

As parábolas do grão de mostarda e do fermento(A)

18 E dizia: A que é semelhante o Reino de Deus, e a que o compararei? 19 É semelhante ao grão de mostarda que um homem, tomando-o, lançou na sua horta; e cresceu e fez-se grande árvore, e em seus ramos se aninharam as aves do céu.

20 E disse outra vez: A que compararei o Reino de Deus? 21 É semelhante ao fermento que uma mulher, tomando-o, escondeu em três medidas de farinha, até que tudo levedou.

A porta estreita

22 E percorria as cidades e as aldeias, ensinando e caminhando para Jerusalém. 23 E disse-lhe um: Senhor, são poucos os que se salvam? E ele lhe respondeu: 24 Porfiai por entrar pela porta estreita, porque eu vos digo que muitos procurarão entrar e não poderão. 25 Quando o pai de família se levantar e cerrar a porta, e começardes a estar de fora e a bater à porta, dizendo: Senhor, Senhor, abre-nos; e, respondendo ele, vos disser: Não sei de onde vós sois, 26 então, começareis a dizer: Temos comido e bebido na tua presença, e tu tens ensinado nas nossas ruas. 27 E ele vos responderá: Digo-vos que não sei de onde vós sois; apartai-vos de mim, vós todos os que praticais a iniquidade. 28 Ali, haverá choro e ranger de dentes, quando virdes Abraão, e Isaque, e Jacó, e todos os profetas no Reino de Deus e vós, lançados fora. 29 E virão do Oriente, e do Ocidente, e do Norte, e do Sul e assentar-se-ão à mesa no Reino de Deus. 30 E eis que derradeiros há que serão os primeiros; e primeiros há que serão os derradeiros.

Jesus é avisado do ódio de Herodes

31 Naquele mesmo dia, chegaram uns fariseus, dizendo-lhe: Sai e retira-te daqui, porque Herodes quer matar-te. 32 E lhes respondeu: Ide e dizei àquela raposa: eis que eu expulso demônios, e efetuo curas, hoje e amanhã, e, no terceiro dia, sou consumado. 33 Importa, porém, caminhar hoje, amanhã e no dia seguinte, para que não suceda que morra um profeta fora de Jerusalém. 34 Jerusalém, Jerusalém, que matas os profetas e apedrejas os que te são enviados! Quantas vezes quis eu ajuntar os teus filhos, como a galinha ajunta os seus pintos debaixo das asas, e não quiseste? 35 Eis que a vossa casa se vos deixará deserta. E em verdade vos digo que não me vereis até que venha o tempo em que digais: Bendito aquele que vem em nome do Senhor!

Repent or Perish

13 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had [a]mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

He also spoke this parable: (A)“A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it [b]use up the ground?’ But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. [c]And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can (B)cut it down.’ ”

A Spirit of Infirmity

10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way [d]raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your (C)infirmity.” 13 (D)And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had (E)healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, (F)“There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and (G)not on the Sabbath day.”

15 The Lord then answered him and said, [e]“Hypocrite! (H)Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, (I)being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were (J)done by Him.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed(K)

18 (L)Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a [f]large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

The Parable of the Leaven(M)

20 And again He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like [g]leaven, which a woman took and hid in three (N)measures[h] of meal till it was all leavened.”

The Narrow Way(O)

22 (P)And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there (Q)few who are saved?”

And He said to them, 24 (R)“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for (S)many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 (T)When once the Master of the house has risen up and (U)shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, (V)‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, (W)‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 (X)But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. (Y)Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28 (Z)There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, (AA)when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. 29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 (AB)And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

31 [i]On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, “Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.”

32 And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day (AC)I shall be [j]perfected.’ 33 Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem(AD)

34 (AE)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 See! (AF)Your house is left to you desolate; and [k]assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, (AG)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

Repent

13 At that time there were some present who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. He answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered these things? I tell you, no. But unless you repent, you will all perish too. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse sinners than all the people living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no. But unless you repent, you will all perish too.”

Parable of the Fig Tree

He told them this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it, but he did not find any. So he said to the gardener, ‘Look, for three years now I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Cut it down. Why even let it use up the soil?’ But the gardener replied to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put fertilizer on it. If it produces fruit next year, fine. But if not, then cut it down.’”

Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman

10 Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And a woman was there who had a spirit that had disabled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not stand up straight. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” 13 He placed his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and began to glorify God.

14 But the ruler of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. He said to the crowd in response, “There are six days to do work. So come to be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath day!”

15 The Lord answered him, “Hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you untie his ox or his donkey from the manger on the Sabbath and lead it to water? 16 Here is this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years! Shouldn’t she be set free from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

17 As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame. But the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he was doing.

Mustard Seed and Yeast

18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what will I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

20 Again he said, “To what will I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and mixed into a bushel[a] of flour until it was all leavened.”

The Narrow Door

22 He went on his way from one town and village to another, teaching, and making his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone said to him, “Lord, are only a few going to be saved?”

He said to them, 24 “Strive to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. 25 Once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open for us!’ He will tell you in reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 And he will say, ‘I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown outside. 29 People will come from east and west, from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30 And note this: Some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

Jesus Warns Jerusalem

31 In that very hour, some Pharisees came to him and said, “Leave, and go away from here, because Herod wants to kill you.”

32 He said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I am going to drive out demons and heal people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal. 33 Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, because it cannot be that a prophet would be killed outside Jerusalem!’

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I have wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you will say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”[b]
