Dual Panel1Now <1161> there were <3918> some <5100> present <3918> on <1722> that <846> occasion <2540> who told <518> him <846> about <4012> the Galileans <1057> whose <3739> blood <129> Pilate <4091> had mixed <3396> with <3326> their <846> sacrifices <2378>.
2He <2532> answered <611> <2036> them <846>, “Do you think <1380> these <3778> Galileans <1057> were <1096> worse sinners <268> than <3844> all <3956> the other Galileans <1057>, because <3754> they suffered <3958> these things <3778>?
3No <3780>, I tell <3004> you <5213>! But <235> unless <1437> <3361> you repent <3340>, you will <622> all <3956> perish <622> as well <3668>!
4Or <2228> those <1565> eighteen who <3739> were killed <615> when the tower <4444> in <1722> Siloam <4611> fell <4098> on them <846>, do you think <1380> they <846> were worse offenders <3781> than <3844> all <3956> the others <444> who live <2730> in Jerusalem <2419>?
5No <3780>, I tell <3004> you <5213>! But <235> unless <1437> <3361> you repent <3340> you will <622> all <3956> perish <622> as well <5615>!”
6Then <1161> Jesus told <3004> this <3778> parable <3850>: “A man <5100> had <2192> a fig tree <4808> planted <5452> in <1722> his <846> vineyard <290>, and <2532> he came <2064> looking for <2212> fruit <2590> on <1722> it <846> and <2532> found <2147> none <3756>.
7So <1161> he said <2036> to <4314> the worker who tended the vineyard <289>, ‘For three <5140> years <2094> now, I have come <2064> looking for <2212> fruit <2590> on <1722> this <3778> fig tree <4808>, and <2532> each time I inspect it I find <2147> none <3756>. Cut <1581> it <846> down <1581>! Why <2444> should it continue to deplete <2673> the soil <1093>?’
8But <1161> the worker answered <611> <3004> him <846>, ‘Sir <2962>, leave <863> it <846> alone this <5124> year <2094> too <2532>, until <2193> I dig <4626> around <4012> it <846> and <2532> put <906> fertilizer <2874> on it.
9Then if <2579> it bears <4160> fruit <2590> next year <1519> <3195>, very well, but <1161> if <1487> not <3361>, you can cut <1581> it <846> down <1581>.’”
10Now <1161> he was <1510> teaching <1321> in <1722> one <1520> of the synagogues <4864> on <1722> the Sabbath <4521>,
11and <2532> a woman <1135> was there who had <2192> been disabled <769> by a spirit <4151> for eighteen years <2094>. She was bent over <4794> and <2532> could <1410> not <3361> straighten <352> herself up <352> completely <3838>.
12When <1161> Jesus <2424> saw <1492> her <846>, he called <4377> her to him <846> and <2532> said <2036>, “Woman <1135>, you are freed <630> from your <4675> infirmity <769>.”
13Then <2532> he placed <2007> his hands <5495> on her <846>, and <2532> immediately <3916> she straightened up <461> and <2532> praised <1392> God <2316>.
14But <1161> the president of the synagogue <752>, indignant <23> because <3754> Jesus <2424> had healed <2323> on the Sabbath <4521>, said <3004> to the crowd <3793>, “There are <1510> six <1803> days <2250> on <1722> which <3739> work <2038> should <1163> be done! So <3767> come <2064> and be healed <2323> on those days <2250>, and <2532> not <3361> on the Sabbath day <4521>.”
15Then <1161> the Lord <2962> answered <611> him <846>, “You hypocrites <5273>! Does <3089> not <3756> each <1538> of you <5216> on the Sabbath <4521> untie <3089> his <846> ox <1016> or <2228> his donkey <3688> from <575> its stall <5336>, and <2532> lead <520> it to water <4222>?
16Then <1161> shouldn’t this woman <3778>, a daughter <2364> of Abraham <11> whom <3739> Satan <4567> bound <1210> for eighteen <1176> <2532> <3638> long years <2094>, be <1163> released <3089> from <575> this <5127> imprisonment <1199> on the Sabbath <4521> day <2250>?”
17When <2532> he <846> said <3004> this <5023> all <3956> his <846> adversaries <480> were humiliated <2617>, but <2532> the entire <3956> crowd <3793> was rejoicing <5463> at <1909> all <3956> the wonderful things <1741> he <846> was doing <1096>.
18Thus <3767> Jesus asked <3004>, “What <5101> is <1510> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> like <3664>? To what <5101> should I compare <3666> it <846>?
19It is <1510> like <3664> a mustard <4615> seed <2848> that <3739> a man <444> took <2983> and <2532> sowed <906> in <1519> his <1438> garden <2779>. It grew <837> and <2532> became <1096> a tree <1186>, and <2532> the wild birds <4071> <3772> nested <2681> in <1722> its <846> branches <2798>.”
20Again <3825> he said <2036>, “To what <5101> should I compare <3666> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>?
21It is <1510> like <3664> yeast <2219> that <3739> a woman <1135> took <2983> and mixed <2928> with <1519> three <5140> measures <4568> of flour <224> until <2193> all <3650> the dough had risen <2220>.”
22Then <2532> Jesus traveled <1279> throughout <2596> towns <4172> and <2532> villages <2968>, teaching <1321> and <2532> making <4160> his way <4197> toward <1519> Jerusalem <2414>.
23Someone <5100> asked <2036> him <846>, “Lord <2962>, will <4982> only <1487> a few <3641> be saved <4982>?” So <1161> he said <2036> to <4314> them <846>,
24“Exert <75> every effort to enter <1525> through <1223> the narrow <4728> door <2374>, because <3754> many <4183>, I tell <3004> you <5213>, will try <2212> to enter <1525> and <2532> will <2480> not <3756> be able to <2480>.
25Once the head of the house <3617> gets up <1453> and <2532> shuts <608> the door <2374>, then you will stand <2476> outside <1854> and <2532> start <756> to knock <2925> on the door <2374> and beg <3004> him, ‘Lord <2962>, let <455> us <2254> in <455>!’ But <2532> he will answer <2046> answer <611> you <5213>, ‘I <1492> don’t <3756> know <1492> where <4159> you <5209> come from <1510>.’
26Then <5119> you will begin <756> to say <3004>, ‘We ate <5315> and <2532> drank <4095> in <1722> your <4675> presence <1799>, and <2532> you taught <1321> in our <2257> streets <4113>.’
27But <2532> he will reply <2046> <3004>, ‘I <1492> don’t <3756> know <1492> where <4159> you <5213> come from <1510>! Go away <868> from <575> me <1700>, all <3956> you evildoers <2040> <93>!’
28There <1563> will be <1510> weeping <2805> and <2532> gnashing <1030> of teeth <3599> when <3752> you see <3700> Abraham <11>, Isaac <2464>, Jacob <2384>, and <2532> all <3956> the prophets <4396> in <1722> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> but <1161> you <5209> yourselves thrown <1544> out <1854>.
29Then <2532> people will come <2240> from <575> east <395> and <2532> west <1424>, and <2532> from <575> north <1005> and <2532> south <3558>, and <2532> take <347> their places at the banquet table <347> in <1722> the kingdom <932> of God <2316>.
30But <2532> indeed <2400>, some are <1510> last <2078> who <3739> will be <1510> first <4413>, and <2532> some are <1510> first <4413> who <3739> will be <1510> last <2078>.”
31At <1722> that <846> time <5610>, some <5100> Pharisees <5330> came up <4334> and said <3004> to Jesus <846>, “Get away from <1831> <2532> <4198> here <1782>, because <3754> Herod <2264> wants <2309> to kill <615> you <4571>.”
32But <2532> he said <2036> to them <846>, “Go <4198> and tell <2036> that <3778> fox <258>, ‘Look <2400>, I am casting out <1544> demons <1140> and <2532> performing <658> healings <2392> today <4594> and <2532> tomorrow <839>, and <2532> on the third <5154> day I will complete <5048> my work.
33Nevertheless <4133> I <3165> must <1163> go on <4198> my way today <4594> and <2532> tomorrow <839> and <2532> the next day <2192>, because <3754> it is impossible <1735> impossible <3756> that a prophet <4396> should be killed <622> outside <1854> Jerusalem <2419>.’
34O Jerusalem <2419>, Jerusalem <2419>, you who kill <615> the prophets <4396> and <2532> stone <3036> those who are sent <649> to <4314> you! How often <4212> I have longed <2309> to gather <1996> your <4675> children <5043> together <1996> as <5158> a hen <3733> gathers her <1438> chicks <3555> under <5259> her wings <4420>, but <2532> you would have <2309> none <3756> of it!
35Look <2400>, your <5216> house <3624> is forsaken <863>! And I tell <3004> you <5213>, you will <3708> not <3756> <3361> see <3708> me <3165> until <2193> you say <2036>, ‘Blessed <2127> is the one who comes <2064> in <1722> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>!’”
