Luke 13:1–22

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood ^aPilate had mingled with their sacrifices. ²And Jesus answering said unto them, ^bSuppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? ³I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. ⁴Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in ^cSiloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were ^||sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? ⁵I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. ⁶He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and ^dhe came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. ⁷Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: ^ecut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? ⁸And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: ⁹And if it bear fruit, ^fwell: and if not, then after that thou shalt ^ecut it down.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. ¹¹And, behold, there was a woman which had a ^gspirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise ^hlift up herself. ¹²And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. ¹³And he ⁱlaid his hands on her: and immediately she was ^jmade straight, and ^kglorified God. ¹⁴And ^lthe ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, ^llbecause that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, ^mThere are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and ⁿnot on the sabbath day. ¹⁵The Lord then answered him, and said, ^oThou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose ^phis ox or his ass from the ^qstall, and lead him away to watering? ¹⁶And ought not this woman, ^rbeing a daughter of Abraham, whom ^gSatan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? ¹⁷And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and ^sall the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

^18tThen said he, ^uUnto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? ¹⁹It 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. ²⁰And again he said, ^uWhereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? ²¹It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three ^||measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

^22wAnd he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and ^xjourneying toward Jerusalem.
