The New Testament of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.: The common English version, corrected by the final committee of the American Bible Union.
Bible. New Testament
(10)And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
(11)And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and was bowed together, and wholly unable to raise
herself up. (12)And Jesus seeing her, called her to him, and said to
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 answering (being indignant
because Jesus healed on the sabbath), said to the multitude: There are
six days in which it is proper to work; in them therefore come and be
healed, and not on the sabbath. (15)And the Lord answered him, and
said: Hypocrites! Does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or
ass from the manger, and lead him away to water him? (16)And ought not
this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound, lo,
eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath? (17)And as
he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the
multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
(18)He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like? And to what
shall I liken it? (19)It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man
took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree,
and the birds of the air lodged in its branches.
(20)And again he said: To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
(21)It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures
of meal, till the whole was leavened.
(22)And he went through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem.
(23)And a certain one said to him: Lord, are there few that are saved?
(24)And he said to them: Strive to enter in through the strait gate;
for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
(25)When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and
ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord,
open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence
ye are; (26)then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank in thy
presence, and thou didst teach in our streets. (27)And he will say, I
tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all workers of
unrighteousness. (28)There will be the weeping, and the gnashing of
teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. (29)And
they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will
recline at table in the kingdom of God. (30)And, behold, there are
last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
