1 And there were some present at that time, telling Him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices; There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 and Jesus answering said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?

Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?

4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem? Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 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?

6 And He spoke this allegory: “A certain one had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find; 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 and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and do not find [it], cut it off, why does it also render the ground useless? 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 answering says to him, Lord, permit it also this year, until I may dig around it, and cast in dung; 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 if indeed it may bear fruit—and if not so, thereafter you will cut it off.” 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 behold, there was a woman having a spirit of disability [for] eighteen years, and she was bent together, and not able to bend back at all, 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 and Jesus having seen her, called [her] near and said to her, “Woman, you have been loosed from your disability”; 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 laid on her [His] hands, and immediately she was set upright, and was glorifying 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 chief of the synagogue answering—much displeased that on the Sabbath Jesus healed—said to the multitude, “Six days there are in which it is necessary to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the day of the Sabbath.” 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 Then the LORD answered him and said, “Hypocrite, do not each of you loose his ox or donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and having led [it] away, water [it]? Then 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? The 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?

When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 And He said, “To what is the Kingdom of God like? And to what will I liken 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?

25 from the time the Master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and you may begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us, and He answering will say to you, I have not known you from where you are, When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ 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.’
26 then you may begin to say, We ate before You, and drank, and You taught in our broad places; Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27 and He will say, I say to you, I have not known you from where you are; depart from Me, all you workers of the unrighteousness. But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’
28 There will be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth when you may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and yourselves being cast outside; 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 you yourselves cast out. “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.
29 and they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline in the Kingdom of God, And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God.

33 but it is necessary for Me today, and tomorrow, and the [day] following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.

34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent to her, how often I willed to gather together your children, as a hen [gathers] her brood under the wings, and you did not will. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! “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, and you were not willing.
35 Behold, your house is being left to you desolate, and truly I say to you, you may not see Me, until it may come when you may say, Blessed [is] He who is coming in the Name of the LORD.” Behold, your house is forsaken.

I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
