1 There were present at the same seaso, certaine men, that shewed him of ye Galileans, whose blood Pilate hadde myngled with their owne sacrifice. There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 And Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto them: Suppose ye that these Galileans, were greater sinners then all the others Galileans, because they suffred such punishment? And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?

4 Or those eyghteene vpon whiche the towre in Siloe fell, and slewe them, thynke ye that they were sinners aboue all men that dwelt in Hierusalem?

Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you naye: but except ye repent, ye shall all lykewyse peryshe. No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. Then 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.
7 Then sayde he to the dresser of his vineyarde: Beholde, this three yere I haue come & sought fruite in this figge tree, and finde none: cut it downe, why cumbreth it the grounde? And 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?’ So 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?’
8 And he aunswered, & sayde vnto him: Lorde, let it alone this yere also, tyll I dygge rounde about it, & dongue it. And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. “’Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.
9 And yf it beare fruite thou mayest let it alone: and yf it beare not then, after that shalt thou cut it downe. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’” If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

11 And beholde, there was a woman, which had a spirite of infirmitie eyghteene yeres, and was bowed together, and coulde in no wyse lyft vp her head. And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.
12 When Iesus sawe her, he called her to hym, and sayde vnto her: Woman, thou art loosed from thy disease. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”
13 And he layde his handes on her, and immediatly, she was made strayght, and glorified God. And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue aunswered with indignation, because that Iesus had healed on the Sabboth day, & sayde vnto the people: There are sixe dayes, in which men ought to worke, in them therfore come, that ye may be healed, and not on the Sabboth day. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
15 But the Lorde aunswered hym, and sayde: Thou hypocrite, doth not eche one of you on the Sabboth day, loose his oxe or his asse from the staule, and leade hym to the water?

Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?

When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 Then sayde he: What is the kyngdome of God lyke? or whereto shall I compare it? He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?

It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”
