1. At that time some people were there who told Jesus that Pilaten had killed some people from Galilee while they were worshiping. He mixed their blood with the blood of the animals they were sacrificing to God.
|
1. There G1161 were present G3918 at G1722 that G846 season G2540 some G5100 that told G518 him G846 of G4012 the G3588 Galilaeans G1057 , whose G3739 blood G129 Pilate G4091 had mingled G3396 with G3326 their G846 sacrifices G2378 .
|
|
2. Jesus answered, "Do you think this happened to them because they were more sinful than all others from Galilee?
|
2. And G2532 Jesus G2424 answering G611 said G2036 unto them G846 , Suppose G1380 ye that G3754 these G3778 Galilaeans G1057 were G1096 sinners G268 above G3844 all G3956 the G3588 Galilaeans G1057 , because G3754 they suffered G3958 such things G5108 ?
|
|
3. No, I tell you. But unless you change your hearts and lives, you will be destroyed as they were!
|
3. I tell G3004 you G5213 , Nay G3780 : but G235 , except G1437 G3361 ye repent G3340 , ye shall all G3956 likewise G5615 perish G622 .
|
|
4. What about those eighteen people who died when the tower of Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were more sinful than all the others who live in Jerusalem?
|
4. Or G2228 those G1565 eighteen G1176 G2532 G3638 , upon G1909 whom G3739 the G3588 tower G4444 in G1722 Siloam G4611 fell G4098 , and G2532 slew G615 them G846 , think G1380 ye that G3754 they G3778 were G1096 sinners G3781 above G3844 all G3956 men G444 that dwelt G2730 in G1722 Jerusalem G2419 ?
|
|
5. No, I tell you. But unless you change your hearts and lives, you will all be destroyed too!"
|
5. I tell G3004 you G5213 , Nay G3780 : but G235 , except G1437 G3361 ye repent G3340 , ye shall all G3956 likewise G3668 perish G622 .
|
|
6. Jesus told this story: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came looking for some fruit on the tree, but he found none.
|
6. He spake G3004 also G1161 this G5026 parable G3850 ; A certain G5100 man had G2192 a fig tree G4808 planted G5452 in G1722 his G848 vineyard G290 ; and G2532 he came G2064 and sought G2212 fruit G2590 thereon G1722 G846 , and G2532 found G2147 none G3756 .
|
|
7. So the man said to his gardener, 'I have been looking for fruit on this tree for three years, but I never find any. Cut it down. Why should it waste the ground?'
|
7. Then G1161 said G2036 he unto G4314 the G3588 dresser of his vineyard G289 , Behold G2400 , these three G5140 years G2094 I come G2064 seeking G2212 fruit G2590 on G1722 this G5026 fig tree G4808 , and G2532 find G2147 none G3756 : cut it down G1581 G846 ; why G2444 G2532 encumbereth G2673 it the G3588 ground G1093 ?
|
|
8. But the servant answered, 'Master, let the tree have one more year to produce fruit. Let me dig up the dirt around it and put on some fertilizer.
|
8. And G1161 he G3588 answering G611 said G3004 unto him G846 , Lord G2962 , let it alone G863 G846 this G5124 year G2094 also G2532 , till G2193 G3755 I shall dig G4626 about G4012 it G846 , and G2532 dung G906 G2874 it :
|
|
9. If the tree produces fruit next year, good. But if not, you can cut it down.'"
|
9. And if G2579 it G3303 bear G4160 fruit G2590 , well : and if not G1490 , then after that G1519 G3195 thou shalt cut it down G1581 G846 .
|
|
10. Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
|
10. And G1161 he was G2258 teaching G1321 in G1722 one G3391 of the G3588 synagogues G4864 on G1722 the G3588 sabbath G4521 .
|
|
11. A woman was there who, for eighteen years, had an evil spirit in her that made her crippled. Her back was always bent; she could not stand up straight.
|
11. And G2532 , behold G2400 , there was G2258 a woman G1135 which had G2192 a spirit G4151 of infirmity G769 eighteen G1176 G2532 G3638 years G2094 , and G2532 was G2258 bowed together G4794 , and G2532 could G1410 in no wise G3361 G1519 G3838 lift up G352 herself.
|
|
12. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are free from your sickness."
|
12. And G1161 when Jesus G2424 saw G1492 her G846 , he called G4377 her to him, and G2532 said G2036 unto her G846 , Woman G1135 , thou art loosed G630 from thine G4675 infirmity G769 .
|
|
13. Jesus put his hands on her, and immediately she was able to stand up straight and began praising God.
|
13. And G2532 he laid G2007 his hands G5495 on her G846 : and G2532 immediately G3916 she was made straight G461 , and G2532 glorified G1392 God G2316 .
|
|
14. The synagogue leader was angry because Jesus healed on the Sabbath day. He said to the people, "There are six days when one has to work. So come to be healed on one of those days, and not on the Sabbath day."
|
14. And G1161 the G3588 ruler of the synagogue G752 answered G611 with indignation G23 , because G3754 that Jesus G2424 had healed G2323 on the G3588 sabbath day G4521 , and said G3004 unto the G3588 people G3793 , There are G1526 six G1803 days G2250 in G1722 which G3739 men ought G1163 to work G2038 : in G1722 them G5025 therefore G3767 come G2064 and G2532 be healed G2323 , and G2532 not G3361 on the G3588 sabbath G4521 day G2250 .
|
|
15. The Lord answered, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each of you untie your work animals and lead them to drink water every day -- even on the Sabbath day?
|
15. The G3588 Lord G2962 then G3767 answered G611 him G846 , and G2532 said G2036 , Thou hypocrite G5273 , doth not G3756 each one G1538 of you G5216 on the G3588 sabbath G4521 loose G3089 his G848 ox G1016 or G2228 his ass G3688 from G575 the G3588 stall G5336 , and G2532 lead him away G520 to watering G4222 ?
|
|
16. This woman that I healed, a daughter of Abraham, has been held by Satan for eighteen years. Surely it is not wrong for her to be freed from her sickness on a Sabbath day!"
|
16. And G1161 ought G1163 not G3756 this woman G5026 , being G5607 a daughter G2364 of Abraham G11 , whom G3739 Satan G4567 hath bound G1210 , lo G2400 , these eighteen G1176 G2532 G3638 years G2094 , be loosed G3089 from G575 this G5127 bond G1199 on the G3588 sabbath G4521 day G2250 ?
|
|
17. When Jesus said this, all of those who were criticizing him were ashamed, but the entire crowd rejoiced at all the wonderful things Jesus was doing.
|
17. And G2532 when he G846 had said G3004 these things G5023 , all G3956 his G846 adversaries G480 were ashamed G2617 : and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 people G3793 rejoiced G5463 for G1909 all G3956 the G3588 glorious things G1741 that were done G1096 by G5259 him G846 .
|
|
18. Then Jesus said, "What is God's kingdom like? What can I compare it with?
|
18. Then G1161 said G3004 he, Unto what G5101 is G2076 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 like G3664 ? and G2532 whereunto G5101 shall I resemble G3666 it G846 ?
|
|
19. It is like a mustard seed that a man plants in his garden. The seed grows and becomes a tree, and the wild birds build nests in its branches."
|
19. It is G2076 like G3664 a grain G2848 of mustard seed G4615 , which G3739 a man G444 took G2983 , and cast G906 into G1519 his G1438 garden G2779 ; and G2532 it grew G837 , and G2532 waxed G1096 a great G3173 tree G1186 ; and G2532 the G3588 fowls G4071 of the G3588 air G3772 lodged G2681 in G1722 the G3588 branches G2798 of it G846 .
|
|
20. Jesus said again, "What can I compare God's kingdom with?
|
20. And G2532 again G3825 he said G2036 , Whereunto G5101 shall I liken G3666 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 ?
|
|
21. It is like yeast that a woman took and hid in a large tub of flour until it made all the dough rise."
|
21. It is G2076 like G3664 leaven G2219 , which G3739 a woman G1135 took G2983 and hid G1470 in G1519 three G5140 measures G4568 of meal G224 , till G2193 G3757 the whole G3650 was leavened G2220 .
|
|
22. Jesus was teaching in every town and village as he traveled toward Jerusalem.
|
22. And G2532 he went G1279 through G2596 the cities G4172 and G2532 villages G2968 , teaching G1321 , and G2532 journeying G4160 G4197 toward G1519 Jerusalem G2419 .
|
|
23. Someone said to Jesus, "Lord, will only a few people be saved?" Jesus said,
|
23. Then G1161 said G2036 one G5100 unto him G846 , Lord G2962 , are G1487 there few G3641 that be saved G4982 ? And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 ,
|
|
24. Try hard to enter through the narrow door, because many people will try to enter there, but they will not be able.
|
24. Strive G75 to enter in G1525 at G1223 the G3588 strait G4728 gate G4439 : for G3754 many G4183 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , will seek G2212 to enter in G1525 , and G2532 shall not G3756 be able G2480 .
|
|
25. When the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you can stand outside and knock on the door and say, 'Sir, open the door for us.' But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'
|
25. When once G575 G3739 G302 the G3588 master of the house G3617 is risen up G1453 , and G2532 hath shut to G608 the G3588 door G2374 , and G2532 ye begin G756 to stand G2476 without G1854 , and G2532 to knock G2925 at the G3588 door G2374 , saying G3004 , Lord G2962 , Lord G2962 , open G455 unto us G2254 ; and G2532 he shall answer G611 and say G2046 unto you G5213 , I know G1492 you G5209 not G3756 whence G4159 ye are G2075 :
|
|
26. Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in the streets of our town.'
|
26. Then G5119 shall ye begin G756 to say G3004 , We have eaten G5315 and G2532 drunk G4095 in thy presence G1799 G4675 , and G2532 thou hast taught G1321 in G1722 our G2257 streets G4113 .
|
|
27. But he will say to you, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Go away from me, all you who do evil!'
|
27. But G2532 he shall say G2046 , I tell G3004 you G5213 , I know G1492 you G5209 not G3756 whence G4159 ye are G2075 ; depart G868 from G575 me G1700 , all G3956 ye workers G2040 of iniquity G93 .
|
|
28. You will cry and grind your teeth with pain when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God's kingdom, but you yourselves thrown outside.
|
28. There G1563 shall be G2071 weeping G2805 and G2532 gnashing G1030 of teeth G3599 , when G3752 ye shall see G3700 Abraham G11 , and G2532 Isaac G2464 , and G2532 Jacob G2384 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 prophets G4396 , in G1722 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 , and G1161 you G5209 yourselves thrust G1544 out G1854 .
|
|
29. People will come from the east, west, north, and south and will sit down at the table in the kingdom of God.
|
29. And G2532 they shall come G2240 from G575 the east G395 , and G2532 from the west G1424 , and G2532 from G575 the north G1005 , and G2532 from the south G3558 , and G2532 shall sit down G347 in G1722 the G3588 kingdom G932 of G2316 God.
|
|
30. There are those who have the lowest place in life now who will have the highest place in the future. And there are those who have the highest place now who will have the lowest place in the future."
|
30. And G2532 , behold G2400 , there are G1526 last G2078 which G3739 shall be G2071 first G4413 , and G2532 there are G1526 first G4413 which G3739 shall be G2071 last G2078 .
|
|
31. At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, "Go away from here! Herod wants to kill you!"
|
31. The G1722 same G846 day G2250 there came G4334 certain G5100 of the Pharisees G5330 , saying G3004 unto him G846 , Get thee out G1831 , and G2532 depart G4198 hence G1782 : for G3754 Herod G2264 will G2309 kill G615 thee G4571 .
|
|
32. Jesus said to them, "Go tell that fox Herod, 'Today and tomorrow I am forcing demons out and healing people. Then, on the third day, I will reach my goal.'
|
32. And G2532 he said G2036 unto them G846 , Go G4198 ye, and tell G2036 that G5026 fox G258 , Behold G2400 , I cast out G1544 devils G1140 , and G2532 I do G2005 cures G2392 today G4594 and G2532 tomorrow G839 , and G2532 the G3588 third G5154 day I shall be perfected G5048 .
|
|
33. Yet I must be on my way today and tomorrow and the next day. Surely it cannot be right for a prophet to be killed anywhere except in Jerusalem.
|
33. Nevertheless G4133 I G3165 must G1163 walk G4198 today G4594 , and G2532 tomorrow G839 , and G2532 the G3588 day following G2192 : for G3754 it cannot be G1735 G3756 that a prophet G4396 perish G622 out G1854 of Jerusalem G2419 .
|
|
34. Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and stone to death those who are sent to you. Many times I wanted to gather your people as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not let me.
|
34. O Jerusalem G2419 , Jerusalem G2419 , which killest G615 the G3588 prophets G4396 , and G2532 stonest G3036 them that are sent G649 unto G4314 thee G846 ; how often G4212 would G2309 I have gathered thy children together G1996 G4675 G5043 , as G3739 G5158 a hen G3733 doth gather her G1438 brood G3555 under G5259 her wings G4420 , and G2532 ye would G2309 not G3756 !
|
|
35. Now your house is left completely empty. I tell you, you will not see me until that time when you will say, 'God bless the One who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
|
35. Behold G2400 , your G5216 house G3624 is left G863 unto you G5213 desolate G2048 : and G1161 verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Ye shall not G3364 see G1492 me G3165 , until G2193 G302 the time come G2240 when G3753 ye shall say G2036 , Blessed G2127 is he that cometh G2064 in G1722 the name G3686 of the Lord G2962 .
