The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
(Isaiah 5:1-7) | 6Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. | 6And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. | 6And He began telling this parable: "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any. | 6He 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. | 6And He told this parable: "A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it and found none. |
| 7So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three years now I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?' | 7And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ | 7"And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?' | 7Then 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? | 7He told the vineyard worker, Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil?' |
| 8"'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for one more year, and I'll dig around it and fertilize it. | 8And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. | 8"And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; | 8And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: | 8"But he replied to him, Sir, leave it this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. |
| 9If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.'" | 9Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’” | 9and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.'" | 9And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. | 9Perhaps it will bear fruit next year, but if not, you can cut it down.'" |

She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. |
| 12When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." | 12When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” | 12When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your sickness." | 12And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. | 12When Jesus saw her, He called out to her, "Woman, you are free of your disability." |
| 13Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. | 13And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. | 13And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God. | 13And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. | 13Then He laid His hands on her, and instantly she was restored and began to glorify God. |
| 14Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, "There are six days for work.

Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” | 14But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, "There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day." | 14And 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. | 14But the leader of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, responded by telling the crowd, "There are six days when work should be done; therefore come on those days and be healed and not on the Sabbath day." |
| 15The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? | 15Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? | 15But the Lord answered him and said, "You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him? | 15The 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? | 15But the Lord answered him and said, "Hypocrites! Doesn't each one of you untie his ox or donkey from the feeding trough on the Sabbath and lead it to water? |
| 16Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?" | 16And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” | 16"And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?" | 16And 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? | 16Satan has bound this woman, a daughter of Abraham, for 18 years--shouldn't she be untied from this bondage on the Sabbath day?" |
| 17When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing. | 17As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him. | 17As He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him. | 17And 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. | 17When He had said these things, all His adversaries were humiliated, but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things He was doing. |
