13At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.G1161G3918G1722G846G2540G5100G518G846G4012G1057G3739G129G4091G3396G3326G846G23782He asked them, "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered like this -G2532G2424G611G2036G846G1380G3754G3778G1057G1096G268G3844G3956G1057G3754G3958G51083Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die.G3004G5213G3780G235G3362G3340G622G3956G5615G6224What about those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem -G2228G1565G1176G2532G3638G1909G3739G4444G1722G4611G4098G2532G615G846G1380G3754G3778G1096G3781G3844G3956G444G2730G1722G24195Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die."G3004G5213G3780G235G3362G3340G622G3956G3668G6226Then Jesus told them this parable: "A man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but didn't find any.G3004G1161G5026G3850G5100G2192G4808G5452G1722G846G290G2532G2064G2212G2590G1722G846G2532G2147G37567So he said to the gardener, 'Look here! For three years I have been coming to look for fruit on this tree but haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the soil?'G1161G2036G4314G289G2400G5140G2094G2064G2212G2590G1722G5026G4808G2532G2147G3756G1581G846G1581G2444G2532G2673G846G10938But the gardener replied, 'Sir, leave it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.G1161G611G3004G846G2962G863G846G863G5124G2094G2532G2193G3755G4626G4012G846G2532G906G28749Maybe next year it'll bear fruit. If not, then cut it down.'"G2579G3303G4160G2590G1490G1519G3195G1581G846G158110Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.G1161G2258G1321G1722G3391G4864G1722G452111A woman was there who had a spirit that had disabled her for eighteen years. She was hunched over and completely unable to stand up straight.G2532G2400G2258G1135G2192G4151G769G1176G2532G3638G2094G2532G2258G4794G2532G1410G1519G3361G3838G35212When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Woman, you are free from your illness."G1161G2424G1492G846G4377G2532G2036G846G1135G630G4675G76913Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and began praising God.11G2532G2007G5495G2007G846G2532G3916G461G2532G1392G231614But the synagogue leader, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, told the crowd, "There are six days when work is to be done. So come on those days to be healed, and not on the Sabbath day."G1161G752G611G23G3754G2424G2323G4521G3004G3793G1526G1803G2250G1722G3739G1163G2038G1722G5025G3767G2064G2323G2532G3361G4521G225015The Lord replied to him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey and lead it out of its stall to give it some water -G2962G3767G611G846G2532G2036G5273G3089G3756G1538G5216G4521G3089G846G1016G2228G3688G575G5336G2532G520G422216Shouldn't this woman, a descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"G1161G1163G3756G5026G5607G2364G11G3739G4567G1210G2400G1176G2532G3638G2094G3089G575G5127G1199G4521G225017Even as he was saying this, all of his opponents were blushing with shame. But the rest of the crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things he was doing.G2532G846G3004G5023G3956G846G480G2617G2532G3956G3793G5463G1909G3956G1741G1096G5259G84618So Jesus went on to say, "What is the kingdom of God like? What can I compare it to -G1161G3004G5101G2076G932G2316G3664G2532G5101G3666G84619It is like a mustard seed that someone took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky nested in its branches."G2076G3664G2848G4615G3739G444G2983G906G1519G1438G2779G2532G837G2532G1096G1519G3173G1186G2532G4071G3772G2681G1722G2798G84620Again he said, "What can I compare the kingdom of God to -G2532G3825G2036G5101G3666G932G231621It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."G2076G3664G2219G3739G1135G2983G1470G1519G5140G4568G224G2193G3739G3650G222022Then Jesus taught in one town and village after another as he made his way to Jerusalem.G2532G1279G2596G4172G2532G2968G1321G2532G4160G4197G1519G241923Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?" He said to them,G1161G2036G5100G4314G846G2962G1487G3641G4982G1161G2036G84624"Keep on struggling to enter through the narrow door, because I tell you that many people will try to enter, but won't be able to do so.G75G1525G1223G4728G4439G3754G4183G3004G5213G2212G1525G2532G2480G3756G248025After the homeowner gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside, knock on the door, and say again and again, 'Lord, open the door for us!' But he will answer you, 'I don't know where you come from.'G575G3739G302G3617G1453G2532G608G2374G2532G756G2476G1854G2532G2925G2374G3004G2962G2962G455G2254G2532G611G2046G5213G1492G5209G3756G4159G207526Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.'G5119G756G3004G5315G2532G4095G4675G1799G2532G1321G1722G2257G411327But he will tell you, 'I don't know where you come from. Get away from me, all you evildoers!'G2532G2046G3004G5213G1492G5209G3756G4159G2075G868G575G1700G3956G2040G9328In that place there will be crying and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves being driven away on the outside.G1563G2071G2805G2532G1030G3599G3752G3700G11G2532G2464G2532G2384G2532G3956G4396G1722G932G2316G1161G5209G1544G185429People will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will eat in the kingdom of God.G2532G2240G575G395G2532G1424G2532G575G1005G2532G3558G2532G347G1722G932G231630You see, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.26G2532G2400G1526G2078G3739G2071G4413G2532G1526G4413G3739G2071G207831At that hour some Pharisees came and told Jesus, "Leave and get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you!"G1722G846G2250G4334G5100G5330G3004G846G1831G2532G4198G1782G3754G2264G2309G615G457132He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Listen! I am driving out demons and healing today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will finish my work.G2532G2036G846G4198G2036G5026G258G2400G1544G1140G2532G2005G2392G4594G2532G839G2532G5154G504833But I must be on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day, because it's not possible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.'G4133G3165G1163G4198G4594G2532G839G2532G2192G3754G3756G1735G4396G622G1854G241934"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones to death those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you people were unwilling!G2419G2419G3588G615G4396G2532G3036G649G4314G846G4212G2309G1996G4675G5043G1996G3739G5158G3733G1438G3555G5259G4420G2532G2309G375635Look! Your house is left vacant to you.
