with their sacrifices.
013:002 Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were
worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they
suffered such things?
013:003 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish
in the same way.
013:004 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them;
do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men
who dwell in Jerusalem?
013:005 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish
in the same way."
013:006 He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree
planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it,
and found none.
013:007 He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I
have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none.
Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
013:008 He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I
dig around it, and fertilize it.
013:009 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can
cut it down.'"
013:010 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
013:011 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way
straighten herself up.
013:012 When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman,
you are freed from your infirmity."
013:013 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight,
and glorified God.
013:014 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had
healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, "There are six
days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days
and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!"
013:015 Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites!
Doesn't each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall
on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?
013:016 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan
had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage
on the Sabbath day?"
013:017 As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed,
and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things
that were done by him.
013:018 He said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what shall
I compare it?
013:019 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,
and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree,
and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches."
013:020 Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
013:021 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three
measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a
bit more than a bushel} of flour, until it was all leavened."
013:022 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching,
and traveling on to Jerusalem.
