13 At en that very autos time kairos there were some tis present pareimi · de · ho who told apangellō him autos about peri the ho Galileans Galilaios whose hos · ho blood haima Pilate Pilatos had mingled mignymi with meta · ho their autos sacrifices thusia. · kai In response apokrinomai he said legō to them autos, “ Do you think dokeō that hoti · ho these houtos Galileans Galilaios were ginomai worse sinners hamartōlos than para all pas the ho other Galileans Galilaios, because hoti they suffered paschō these houtos things ? No ouchi, I tell legō you hymeis; but alla unless ean mē you repent metanoeō, you will apollymi all pas perish apollymi as homoiōs they did. Or ē those ekeinos · ho eighteen dekaoktō on epi whom hos the ho tower pyrgos in en Siloam Silōam fell piptō · ho and kai killed apokteinō them autos do you think dokeō that hoti they autos were ginomai worse offenders opheiletēs than para all pas the ho others anthrōpos · ho living katoikeō in Jerusalem Ierousalēm? No ouchi, I tell legō you hymeis; but alla unless ean mē you repent metanoeō, you will apollymi all pas perish apollymi just hōsautōs as they did.”

Then de he told legō this houtos · ho parable parabolē: “ A man tis had echō a fig sykē tree planted phyteuō in en · ho his autos vineyard ampelōn, and kai he came erchomai looking zēteō for fruit karpos on en it autos and kai found heuriskō none ou. And de he said legō to pros the ho vineyard ampelourgos worker , ‘ Look idou, for three treis years etos now apo hos, I have come erchomai looking zēteō for fruit karpos on en · ho this houtos fig sykē tree , and kai I find heuriskō none ou. Remove ekkoptō it autos. Why hinati · kai should it use up katargeō the ho soil ?’ And de he ho answered apokrinomai, saying legō to him autos, ‘ Sir kyrios, leave aphiēmi it autos alone this houtos year etos also kai, · ho until heōs hostis I dig skaptō around peri it autos and kai put ballō on manure koprion. Perhaps kan it will bear poieō fruit karpos next eis ho · ho year; but de if ei not , you may remove ekkoptō it autos.’”

10 Now de he was eimi teaching didaskō in en one heis of the ho synagogues synagōgē on en the ho Sabbath sabbaton, 11 and kai there idou was a woman gynē there who had had echō a spirit pneuma of weakness astheneia for eighteen dekaoktō years etos. · kai She was eimi bent synkyptō over and kai not able dynamai to straighten anakyptō up at eis · ho all pantelēs. 12 Seeing · de her autos, · ho Jesus Iēsous called prosphōneō out and kai said legō to her autos, “ Woman gynē you are released apolyō from · ho your sy weakness astheneia.” 13 · kai He placed epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on her autos, and kai immediately parachrēma she was made erect anorthoō again and kai began to praise doxazō · ho God theos. 14 · de Indignant aganakteō because hoti Jesus Iēsous had healed therapeuō on the ho Sabbath sabbaton, · ho the ho ruler of the synagogue archisynagōgos said legō to the ho crowd ochlos, “ There are eimi six hex days hēmera in en which hos work ought dei to be done ergazomai. Come erchomai on en those autos days and be healed therapeuō, and kai not on the ho Sabbath sabbaton day hēmera.” · ho 15 Then de the ho Lord kyrios answered apokrinomai him autos, · kai saying legō, “ You hypocrites hypokritēs! Does not ou each hekastos of you hymeis on the ho Sabbath sabbaton untie lyō · ho his autos ox bous or ē his ho donkey onos from apo the ho manger phatnē · kai to lead apagō it away and to water potizō it? 16 And de ought dei not ou this houtos woman , a daughter thugatēr of Abraham Abraam whom hos Satan Satanas bound deō · ho for eighteen deka · kai years etos, be released lyō from apo · ho this houtos bondage desmos on the ho day hēmera of the ho Sabbath sabbaton?” 17 · kai As legō he autos said legō these houtos things , all pas his autos adversaries antikeimai were put to shame kataischunō, · ho while kai all pas the ho people ochlos rejoiced chairō at epi all pas the ho glorious endoxos things that ho were done ginomai by hypo him autos.

18 Then oun he said legō, “ What tis is eimi the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos like homoios, and kai to what tis shall I compare homoioō it autos? 19 It is eimi like homoios a mustard sinapi seed kokkos that hos a man anthrōpos took lambanō and threw ballō into eis his heautou garden kēpos. · kai It grew auxanō and kai became ginomai eis a tree dendron, and kai the ho birds peteinon of the ho sky ouranos made nests kataskēnoō in en · ho its autos branches klados.”

20 And kai again palin he said legō, “ To what tis shall I compare homoioō the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos? 21 It is eimi like homoios leaven zymē that hos a woman gynē took lambanō and hid enkryptō in eis three treis measures saton of flour aleuron, until heōs hos it was all holos leavened zymoō.”

22 Then kai Jesus went diaporeuomai through town after kata town polis and kai village kōmē after village, teaching didaskō as kai he made poieō his way poreia to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma. 23 Someone tis said legō · de to him autos, “ Lord kyrios, will those ho who are saved sōzō be few oligos?” And de he ho said legō to pros them autos, 24  Do your best agōnizomai to go eiserchomai in through dia the ho narrow stenos door thura; for hoti many polys, I tell legō you hymeis, will try zēteō to go eiserchomai in and kai not ou be able ischuō.

25  Once apo hos the ho owner of the house oikodespotēs has risen egeirō and kai shut apokleiō the ho door thura, and kai you are left archō standing histēmi outside exō, · kai knocking krouō at the ho door thura, saying legō, ‘ Sir kyrios, open anoigō the door for us hēmeis!’ then kai he will respond apokrinomai to you hymeis, ‘ I do not ou know oida you hymeis or where pothen you are eimi from.’ 26 Then tote you will archō say legō, ‘ We ate esthiō and kai drank pinō in your sy presence enōpion, and kai you taught didaskō in en · ho our hēmeis streets platys.’ 27 And kai he will speak legō, saying legō to you hymeis, ‘ I do not ou know oida you hymeis or where pothen you are eimi from. Depart aphistēmi from apo me egō, all pas you workers ergatēs of unrighteousness adikia!’ 28 There will be eimi · ho weeping klauthmos and kai · ho gnashing brygmos of ho teeth odous there ekei, when hotan you see horaō Abraham Abraam and kai Isaac Isaak, and kai Jacob Iakōb, and kai all pas the ho prophets prophētēs in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos, but de you hymeis yourselves · de cast ekballō outside exō.

29  Then kai they will come hēkō from apo east anatolē and kai west dysmē, and kai from apo north borras and kai south notos, and kai recline anaklinō at table in en the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos. 30 But kai take idou note , some who hos are eimi last eschatos will be eimi first prōtos, and kai some are eimi first prōtos who hos will be eimi last eschatos.”

31 In en that autos very · ho hour hōra some tis Pharisees Pharisaios came proserchomai, saying legō to him autos, “ Leave exerchomai and kai get poreuō away from enteuthen here , for hoti Herod hērōdēs wants thelō to kill apokteinō you sy.” 32 And kai he said legō to them autos, “ Go poreuō and tell legō · ho that houtos fox alōpēx, ‘ Behold idou, I am casting ekballō out demons daimonion and kai performing apoteleō cures iasis today sēmeron and kai tomorrow aurion, and kai the ho third tritos day I complete teleioō my task .’ 33 Nevertheless plēn I egō must dei continue on my way poreuō today sēmeron and kai tomorrow aurion and kai the ho next echō day; because hoti it is not ou possible endechomai for a prophet prophētēs to die apollymi outside exō of Jerusalem Ierousalēm.”

34  O Jerusalem Ierousalēm, Jerusalem Ierousalēm, the city that ho kills apokteinō the ho prophets prophētēs and kai stones lithoboleō those ho who have been sent apostellō to pros it autos! How posakis often I wanted thelō to gather episynagō · ho your sy children teknon together as hos tropos a hen ornis gathers · ho her heautou brood nossia under hypo her ho wings pteryx, and kai you did not ou want thelō it! 35 Behold idou, your hymeis house oikos is left aphiēmi to you hymeis · ho desolate. And de I tell legō you hymeis, you will not ou mē see me egō until heōs you say legō, ‘ Blessed eulogeō is the ho one who comes erchomai in en the name onoma of the Lord kyrios!’”

Repent or Perish

13 Now at the same time some had come to tell him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. And he answered and[a] said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were sinners worse than all the Galileans, because they suffered these things? No, I tell you, but unless you repent you will all perish as well! Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were sinners worse than all the people who live in Jerusalem? No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

And he told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.[b] So he said to the gardener, ‘Behold, for three years[c] I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find any.[d] Cut it down![e] Why should it even exhaust the soil?’ But he answered and[f] said to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put manure on it.[g] And if indeed it produces fruit in the coming year, so much the better,[h] but if not, you can cut it down.’”

A Woman with a Disabling Spirit Healed

10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, a woman was there[i] who had a spirit that had disabled her[j] for eighteen years, and she was bent over and not able to straighten herself up completely.[k] 12 And when he[l] saw her, Jesus summoned her[m] and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability!” 13 And he placed his[n] hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and glorified God. 14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, answered and[o] said to the crowd, “There are six days on which it is necessary to work. Therefore come and[p] be healed on them, and not on the day of the Sabbath!” 15 But the Lord answered and said to him, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you untie his ox or his[q] donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead it[r] away to water it?[s] 16 And this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound eighteen[t] long years—is it not necessary that she be released from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?” 17 And when[u] he said these things, all those who opposed him were humiliated, and the whole crowd was rejoicing at all the splendid things that were being done by him.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

18 Therefore he said, “What is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed that a man took and[v] sowed in his own garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches.”

The Parable of the Yeast

20 And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and[w] hid in[x] three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.”

The Narrow Door

22 And he was going throughout towns and villages, teaching and making his journey toward Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to him, “Lord, are there only[y] a few who are saved?” And he said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able to, 25 when once the master of the house has gotten up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open the door[z] for us!’ And he will answer and[aa] say to you, ‘I do not know 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 And he will reply, saying to you, ‘I do not know where you are from! Go away from me, all you evildoers!’[ab] 28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves thrown outside! 29 And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

The Lament over Jerusalem

31 At that same hour some Pharisees came up and[ac] said to him, “Go out and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you!” 32 And he said to them, “Go and[ad] tell that fox, ‘Behold, I am expelling demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.’[ae] 33 Nevertheless, it is necessary for me to be on the way today and tomorrow and on the next day, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather your children together the way[af] a hen gathers[ag] her own brood under her[ah] wings, and you were not willing! 35 Behold, your house has been left to you! And I tell you, you will never see me until the time[ai] will come when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”[aj]
