Repent or Perish
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 13
|
|
###### 1 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
|
|
###### 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, **"Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all _other_ Galileans, because they suffered such things?**
|
|
###### 3 **I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.**
|
|
###### 4 **Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all _other_ men who dwelt in Jerusalem?**
|
|
###### 5 **I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."**The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
|
|
|
|
###### 6 He also spoke this parable: **"A certain _man_ had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.**
|
|
###### 7 **Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it** **use up the ground?'**
|
|
###### 8 **But he answered and said to him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize _it._**
|
|
###### 9 **And if it bears fruit, _well._ But if not, after that you can** **cut it down.' "**A Spirit of Infirmity
|
|
|
|
###### 10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
|
|
###### 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise _herself_ up.
|
|
###### 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called _her_ to _Him_ and said to her, **"Woman, you are loosed from your** **infirmity."**
|
|
###### 13 And He laid _His_ hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, "There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day."
|
|
|
|
###### 15 The Lord then answered him and said, **"Hypocrite!** **Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead _it_ away to water it?**
|
|
###### 16 **So ought not this woman,** **being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound--think of it--for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?"**
|
|
###### 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.The Parable of the Mustard Seed
|
|
|
|
###### 18 Then He said, **"What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?**
|
|
###### 19 **It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a** **large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches."**The Parable of the Leaven
|
|
|
|
###### 20 And again He said, **"To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?**
|
|
###### 21 **It is like** **leaven, which a woman took and hid in three** **measures** **of meal till it was all leavened."**The Narrow Way
|
|
|
|
###### 22 And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
|
|
###### 23 Then one said to Him, "Lord, are there few who are saved?"
|
|
And He said to them,
|
|
###### 24 **"Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for** **many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.**
|
|
###### 25 **When once the Master of the house has risen up and** **shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying,** **'Lord, Lord, open for us,' and He will answer and say to you,** **'I do not know you, 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 **But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from.** **Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.'**
|
|
###### 28 **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, and yourselves thrust out.**
|
|
###### 29 **They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God.**
|
|
###### 30 **And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last."**
|
|
|
|
###### 31 On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, "Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You."
|
|
|
|
###### 32 And He said to them, **"Go, tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third _day_** **I shall be** **perfected.'**
|
|
###### 33 **Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the _day_ following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.**Jesus Laments over Jerusalem
|
|
|
|
###### 34 **"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen _gathers_ her brood under _her_ wings, but you were not willing!**
|
|
###### 35 **See!** **Your house is left to you desolate; and** **assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until _the time_ comes when you say,** **'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord**!' **"**
