1And there were present, at that very time, some that told him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
1At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2And he answering, said to them: Think you that these Galileans were sinners above all the men of Galilee, because they suffered such things?
2To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?
3No, I say to you: but unless you shall do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
3No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
4Or those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you, that they also were debtors above all the men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
4Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish.
5No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
6He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
6Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
7And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
7So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
8‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
9If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”
10And he was teaching in their synagogue on their sabbath.
10One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
11And behold there was a woman, who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was bowed together, neither could she look upwards at all.
11and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.
12Whom when Jesus saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.
12When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”
13And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
13Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God.
14And the ruler of the synagogue (being angry that Jesus had healed on the sabbath) answering, said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be healed; and not on the sabbath day.
14But the synagogue leader was indignant that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. “There are six days for work,” he told the crowd. “So come and be healed on those days and not on the Sabbath.”
15And the Lord answering him, said: Ye hypocrites, doth not every one of you, on the sabbath day, loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead them to water?
15“You hypocrites!” the Lord replied. “Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it to water?
16And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
16Then should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath day?”
17And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the things that were gloriously done by him.
17When Jesus said this, all His adversaries were humiliated. And the whole crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things He was doing.
18He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?
18Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it?
19It is like to a grain of mustard seed, 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 the branches thereof.
19It is like a mustard seed that a man tossed into his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
20And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
20Again He asked, “To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
21It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
21It is like leaven that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
22And he went through the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem.
22Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way toward Jerusalem.
23And a certain man said to him: Lord, are they few that are saved? But he said to them:
23“Lord,” someone asked Him, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered,
24Strive to enter by the narrow gate; for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.
24“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able.
25But when the master of the house shall be gone in, and shall shut the door, you shall begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying: Lord, open to us. And he answering, shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are.
25After the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will stand outside knocking and saying, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will reply, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26Then you shall begin to say: We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
26Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27And he shall say to you: I know you not, whence you are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
27And he will answer, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you evildoers.’
28There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out.
29And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
29People will come from east and west and north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.
30And behold, they are last that shall be first; and they are first that shall be last.
30And indeed, some who are last will be first, and some who are first will be last.”
31The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee.
31At that very hour, some Pharisees came to Jesus and told Him, “Leave this place and get away, because Herod wants to kill You.”
32And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I am consummated.
32But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’
33Nevertheless I must walk today and tomorrow, and the day following, because it cannot be that a prophet perish, out of Jerusalem.
33Nevertheless, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not admissible for a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
34Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I have gathered thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?
34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling!
35Behold your house shall be left to you desolate. And I say to you, that you shall not see me till the time come, when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
35Look, your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
