Ang Masigpit nga Pultahan

(Mat. 7:13-14, 21-23)

22 Samtang nagpadulong si Jesus sa Jerusalem, nanudlo siya didto sa mga baryo ug sa mga lungsod nga iyang giagian. 23 Unya, may nangutana kaniya, “Ginoo, gamay lang ba ang maluwas?” Gitubag sila ni Jesus, 24 “Paningkamot gayod kamo sa pagsulod sa masigpit nga pultahan, tungod kay ang tinuod, daghan unta ang gustong mosulod, apan dili sila makasulod. 25 Kon makapanirado na ang tagbalay magtindog na lang unya kamo sa gawas ug manuktok ug moingon, ‘Sir, pasudla kami.’ Apan tubagon niya kamo, ‘Wala ako makaila kaninyo.’ 26 Unya moingon kamo, ‘Dili ba nga nagkauban man kita sa pagpangaon, ug nagtudlo ka pa gani didto sa mga kadalanan sa among lungsod?’ 27 Apan motubag siya kaninyo, ‘Wala gayod ako makaila kaninyo. Palayo kamo kanako, kamong mga daotan!’ 28 Unya kon makita ninyo si Abraham, Isaac, Jacob ug ang tanang mga propeta didto sa gingharian sa Dios, manghilak kamo ug magkagot ang inyong mga ngipon tungod kay kamo wala pasudla. 29 Ug makita ninyo ang mga dili Judio nga gikan sa tanang bahin sa kalibotan nga manglingkod ug mangaon didto sa gingharian sa Dios. 30 May mga tawo nga labing ubos karon, apan sa kaulahian mahimong dungganon. Ug may mga dungganon karon, apan sa kaulahian mahimong labing ubos.”

Ang Paghigugma ni Jesus sa mga Taga-Jerusalem

(Mat. 23:37-39)

31 Niadtong panahona may mga Pariseo nga miduol kang Jesus ug miingon, “kinahanglan nga mopahawa ka na dinhi tungod kay gusto ni Herodes nga patyon ka.” 32 Apan gitubag sila ni Jesus, “Lakaw, sultihi ninyo kanang limbongan nga Herodes nga nang-abog ako sa mga daotang espiritu ug nang-ayo sa mga masakiton karon hangtod ugma, ug sa ikatulo nga adlaw mahuman ko na ang akong trabaho. 33 Kinahanglan gayod nga magpadayon ako sa akong paglakaw karon, ugma, ug sa sunod nga adlaw, kay dili angay nga patyon ang propeta sa ubang lugar kondili sa Jerusalem lang.

34 “Kamo nga mga taga-Jerusalem, ngano man nga gibato ninyo ug gipamatay ang mga propeta sa Dios nga gipadala diha kaninyo? Dugay na akong nagtinguha nga tigomon kamo ug atimanon, sama sa himunga-an nga nagtigom sa iyang mga piso ilalom sa iyang mga pako, apan dili ninyo kini gusto. 35 Karon, bahala na kamo sa inyong kaugalingon. Dili na gayod ninyo ako makita hangtod nga moingon kamo, ‘Gipanalanginan sa Ginoo ang iyang pinadala.’ ”[a]

Giayo ni Jesus ang Tawo nga Masakiton

14 Usa niana ka Adlaw nga Igpapahulay, giimbitar si Jesus sa usa sa kadagkoan sa mga Pariseo didto sa ilang balay aron mokaon. Pag-abot ni Jesus didto, gibantayan siya pag-ayo sa mga tawo nga nagabatok kaniya, kon lapason ba niya ang Kasugoan. Unya may tawo didto nga nanghupong ang tibuok lawas. Nangutana si Jesus sa mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan ug sa mga Pariseo, “Gitugot ba sa atong Kasugoan ang pagpang-ayo sa mga masakiton sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay o wala?” Apan wala sila motubag. Unya gigunitan dayon ni Jesus ang tawo, giayo, ug pagkahuman gipalakaw. Ug miingon siya sa mga tawo didto, “Pananglit may anak o baka kamo nga mahulog sa atabay sa Adlaw nga Igpapahulay, pasagdan lang ba ninyo tungod kay Adlaw nga Igpapahulay?” Apan wala gayod sila makatubag sa iyang pangutana.

The Narrow Door

22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.(A) 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”

He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door,(B) because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’(C)

26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’(D)

28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth,(E) when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west(F) and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”(G)

Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem(H)(I)

31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod(J) wants to kill you.”

32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’(K) 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet(L) can die outside Jerusalem!

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(M) and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(N) I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[a](O)

Jesus at a Pharisee’s House(P)

14 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee,(Q) he was being carefully watched.(R) There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law,(S) “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”(T) But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child[b] or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”(U) And they had nothing to say.

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.

14 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they could not answer him again to these things.
