Turn from Your Sins or Die

13At that time some people were there who told Jesus about the Galileans whom Pilate had killed while they were offering sacrifices to God.G1161G3918G1722G846G2540G5100G518G846G4012G1057G3739G129G4091G3396G3326G846G2378
2Jesus answered them, "Because those Galileans were killed in that way, do you think it proves that they were worse sinners than all other Galileans?G2532G2424G611G2036G846G1380G3754G3778G1057G1096G268G3844G3956G1057G3754G3958G5108
3No indeed! And I tell you that if you do not turn from your sins, you will all die as they did.G3004G5213G3780G235G3362G3340G622G3956G5615G622
4What about those eighteen people in Siloam who were killed when the tower fell on them? Do you suppose this proves that they were worse than all the other people living in Jerusalem?G2228G1565G1176G2532G3638G1909G3739G4444G1722G4611G4098G2532G615G846G1380G3754G3778G1096G3781G3844G3956G444G2730G1722G2419
5No indeed! And I tell you that if you do not turn from your sins, you will all die as they did."G3004G5213G3780G235G3362G3340G622G3956G3668G622

The Parable of the Unfruitful Fig Tree

6Then Jesus told them this parable: "There was once a man who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard. He went looking for figs on it but found none.G3004G1161G5026G3850G5100G2192G4808G5452G1722G846G290G2532G2064G2212G2590G1722G846G2532G2147G3756
7So he said to his gardener, 'Look, for three years I have been coming here looking for figs on this fig tree, and I haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it go on using up the soil?'G1161G2036G4314G289G2400G5140G2094G2064G2212G2590G1722G5026G4808G2532G2147G3756G1581G846G1581G2444G2532G2673G846G1093
8But the gardener answered, 'Leave it alone, sir, just one more year; I will dig around it and put in some fertilizer.G1161G611G3004G846G2962G863G846G863G5124G2094G2532G2193G3755G4626G4012G846G2532G906G2874
9Then if the tree bears figs next year, so much the better; if not, then you can have it cut down.' "G2579G3303G4160G2590G1490G1519G3195G1581G846G1581

Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath

10One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in a synagogue.G1161G2258G1321G1722G3391G4864G1722G4521
11A woman there had an evil spirit that had kept her sick for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all.G2532G2400G2258G1135G2192G4151G769G1176G2532G3638G2094G2532G2258G4794G2532G1410G1519G3361G3838G352
12When Jesus saw her, he called out to her, "Woman, you are free from your sickness!"G1161G2424G1492G846G4377G2532G2036G846G1135G630G4675G769
13He placed his hands on her, and at once she straightened herself up and praised God.G2532G2007G5495G2007G846G2532G3916G461G2532G1392G2316
14The official of the synagogue was angry that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, so he spoke up and said to the people, "There are six days in which we should work; so come during those days and be healed, but not on the Sabbath!"G1161G752G611G23G3754G2424G2323G4521G3004G3793G1526G1803G2250G1722G3739G1163G2038G1722G5025G3767G2064G2323G2532G3361G4521G2250
15The Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Any one of you would untie your ox or your donkey from the stall and take it out to give it water on the Sabbath.G2962G3767G611G846G2532G2036G5273G3089G3756G1538G5216G4521G3089G846G1016G2228G3688G575G5336G2532G520G4222
16Now here is this descendant of Abraham whom Satan has kept in bonds for eighteen years; should she not be released on the Sabbath?"G1161G1163G3756G5026G5607G2364G11G3739G4567G1210G2400G1176G2532G3638G2094G3089G575G5127G1199G4521G2250
17His answer made his enemies ashamed of themselves, while the people rejoiced over all the wonderful things that he did.G2532G846G3004G5023G3956G846G480G2617G2532G3956G3793G5463G1909G3956G1741G1096G5259G846

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

18Jesus asked, "What is the Kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with?G1161G3004G5101G2076G932G2316G3664G2532G5101G3666G846
19It is like this. A man takes a mustard seed and plants it in his field. The plant grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make their nests in its branches."G2076G3664G2848G4615G3739G444G2983G906G1519G1438G2779G2532G837G2532G1096G1519G3173G1186G2532G4071G3772G2681G1722G2798G846

The Parable of the Yeast

20Again Jesus asked, "What shall I compare the Kingdom of God with?G2532G3825G2036G5101G3666G932G2316
21It is like this. A woman takes some yeast and mixes it with a bushel of flour until the whole batch of dough rises."G2076G3664G2219G3739G1135G2983G1470G1519G5140G4568G224G2193G3739G3650G2220

The Narrow Door

22Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching the people and making his way toward Jerusalem.G2532G1279G2596G4172G2532G2968G1321G2532G4160G4197G1519G2419
23Someone asked him, "Sir, will just a few people be saved?" Jesus answered them,G1161G2036G5100G4314G846G2962G1487G3641G4982G1161G2036G846
24"Do your best to go in through the narrow door; because many people will surely try to go in but will not be able.G75G1525G1223G4728G4439G3754G4183G3004G5213G2212G1525G2532G2480G3756G2480
25The master of the house will get up and close the door; then when you stand outside and begin to knock on the door and say, 'Open the door for us, sir!' he will answer you, 'I don't know where you come from!'G575G3739G302G3617G1453G2532G608G2374G2532G756G2476G1854G2532G2925G2374G3004G2962G2962G455G2254G2532G611G2046G5213G1492G5209G3756G4159G2075
26Then you will answer, 'We ate and drank with you; you taught in our town!'G5119G756G3004G5315G2532G4095G4675G1799G2532G1321G1722G2257G4113
27But he will say again, 'I don't know where you come from. Get away from me, all you wicked people!'G2532G2046G3004G5213G1492G5209G3756G4159G2075G868G575G1700G3956G2040G93
28How you will cry and gnash your teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, while you are thrown out!G1563G2071G2805G2532G1030G3599G3752G3700G11G2532G2464G2532G2384G2532G3956G4396G1722G932G2316G1161G5209G1544G1854
29People will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down at the feast in the Kingdom of God.G2532G2240G575G395G2532G1424G2532G575G1005G2532G3558G2532G347G1722G932G2316
30Then those who are now last will be first, and those who are now first will be last."G2532G2400G1526G2078G3739G2071G4413G2532G1526G4413G3739G2071G2078

Jesus’ Love for Jerusalem

31At that same time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, "You must get out of here and go somewhere else, because Herod wants to kill you."G1722G846G2250G4334G5100G5330G3004G846G1831G2532G4198G1782G3754G2264G2309G615G4571
32Jesus answered them, "Go and tell that fox: 'I am driving out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I shall finish my work.'G2532G2036G846G4198G2036G5026G258G2400G1544G1140G2532G2005G2392G4594G2532G839G2532G5154G5048
33Yet I must be on my way today, tomorrow, and the next day; it is not right for a prophet to be killed anywhere except in Jerusalem.G4133G3165G1163G4198G4594G2532G839G2532G2192G3754G3756G1735G4396G622G1854G2419
34"Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, you stone the messengers God has sent you! How many times I wanted to put my arms around all your people, just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not let me!G2419G2419G3588G615G4396G2532G3036G649G4314G846G4212G2309G1996G4675G5043G1996G3739G5158G3733G1438G3555G5259G4420G2532G2309G3756
35And so your Temple will be abandoned. I assure you that you will not see me until the time comes when you say, 'God bless him who comes in the name of the Lord.' "G2400G5216G3624G863G5213G2048G1161G281G3004G5213G3754G1492G3364G1492G3165G2193G302G2240G3753G2036G2127G2064G1722G3686G2962
