1
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose
blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering
said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were
sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I
tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or
those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that
they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I
tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 He
spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig
tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found
none. 7 Then said he unto the dresser of
his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree,
and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8 And
he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig
about it, and dung it: 9 And if it
bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it
down.
10 And
he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 11 And,
behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and
was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12 And
when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman,
thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13 And he laid his
hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 14 And
the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had
healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which
men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath
day. 15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou
hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his
ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 16 And
ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo,
these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? 17 And
when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the
people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
18 Then
said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and
whereunto shall I resemble it? 19 It is
like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it
grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of
it. 20 And again he said, Whereunto shall
I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like
leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was
leavened. 22 And he went through the cities and villages,
teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23 Then
said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive
to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in,
and shall not be able. 25 When once the
master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to
stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and
he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26 Then
shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast
taught in our streets. 27 But he shall
say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity. 28 There shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust
out. 29 And they shall come from the
east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south,
and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And,
behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be
last.
31 The
same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and
depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. 32 And he said unto them, Go
ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to
morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. 33 Nevertheless
I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot
be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. 34 O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent
unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth
gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! 35 Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not
see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that
cometh in the name of the Lord. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner
