Luke 13:22-14:6

Revised Geneva Translation

²² And He went through all cities and towns, teaching and journeying towards Jerusalem.

²³ Then someone said to Him, “Lord, are there few who shall be saved?” And He said to them,

²⁴ “Strive to enter in at the narrow gate. For many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and shall not be able.

²⁵ “When the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door; and you began to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open for us’, and he shall answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’

²⁶ “Then you shall begin to say, ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.’

²⁷ “But he shall say, ‘I tell you. I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’

²⁸ “There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of God; and yourselves thrust out at the doors.

²⁹ “Then many shall come from the east and from the west and from the north and from the south and shall sit at table in the Kingdom of God.

³⁰ “And behold, there are last who shall be first. And there are first who shall be last.”

³¹ The same day, some Pharisees came and said to Him, “Depart and go from here! For Herod wants to kill you!”

³² Then He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and will keep healing today and tomorrow. And the third day I shall complete it.’

³³ “Nevertheless, I must walk today and tomorrow and the day after. For it cannot be that a Prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

³⁴ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the Prophets and stones those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as the hen gathers her brood under her wings. And you would not.

³⁵ “Behold, your house is left to you desolate. And truly I tell you, you shall not see Me until the time comes that you shall say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord.’”

14 And it happened that when He had entered into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they watched Him.

² And behold, there was a certain man before Him who suffered from edema.

³ Then Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”

⁴ And they held their peace. Then He took him and healed him and let him go.

⁵ And He answered them, saying, “Who of you shall have a donkey or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath day?”

⁶ And again they could not answer Him about those things.
