1 Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.2 And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them?3 I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end.4 Or those eighteen men who were crushed by the fall of the tower of Siloam, were they worse than all the other men living in Jerusalem?5 I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.6 And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit.7 And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space?8 And he said, Lord, let it be for this year, and I will have the earth turned up round it, and put animal waste on it, to make it fertile:9 And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down.10 And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath.11 And there was a woman who had had a disease for eighteen years; she was bent, and was not able to make herself straight.12 And when Jesus saw her, he said to her, Woman, you are made free from your disease.13 And he put his hands on her, and she was made straight, and gave praise to God.14 And the ruler of the Synagogue was angry because Jesus had made her well on the Sabbath, and he said to the people, There are six days in which men may do work: so come on those days to be made well, and not on the Sabbath.15 But the Lord gave him an answer and said, O you false men! do you not, every one of you, on the Sabbath, let loose his ox and his ass and take it to the water?16 And is it not right for this daughter of Abraham, who has been in the power of Satan for eighteen years, to be made free on the Sabbath?17 And when he said these things, those who were against him were shamed, and all the people were full of joy because of the great things which were done by him.18 Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? what comparison may I make of it?19 It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden, and it became a tree, and the birds of heaven made their resting-places in its branches.20 And again he said, What is the kingdom of God like?21 It is like leaven, which a woman put into three measures of meal, and it was all leavened.22 And he went on his way, through towns and country places, teaching and journeying to Jerusalem.23 And someone said to him, Lord, will only a small number have salvation? And he said to them,24 Do your best to go in by the narrow door, for I say to you, A number will make the attempt to go in, but will not be able to do so.25 When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.26 Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.27 But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.28 There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.29 And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God.30 And the last will be first, and the first will be last.31 At that time, certain Pharisees came to him and said, Go away from this place, because Herod's purpose is to put you to death.32 And he said, Go and say to that fox, I send out evil spirits and do works of mercy today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work will be complete.33 But I have to go on my way today and tomorrow and the third day, for it is not right for a prophet to come to his death outside Jerusalem.34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not!35 Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

1 Aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore, nuntiantes illi de Galilis, quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum. 2 Et respondens dixit illis : Putatis quod hi Galili pr omnibus Galilis peccatores fuerint, quia talia passi sunt ? 3 Non, dico vobis : sed nisi pnitentiam habueritis, omnes similiter peribitis. 4 Sicut illi decem et octo, supra quos cecidit turris in Silo, et occidit eos : putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerint prter omnes homines habitantes in Jerusalem ? 5 Non, dico vobis : sed si pnitentiam non egeritis, omnes similiter peribitis.6 Dicebat autem et hanc similitudinem : Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit qurens fructum in illa, et non invenit. 7 Dixit autem ad cultorem vine : Ecce anni tres sunt ex quo venio qurens fructum in ficulnea hac, et non invenio : succide ergo illam : ut quid etiam terram occupat ? 8 At ille respondens, dicit illi : Domine dimitte illam et hoc anno, usque dum fodiam circa illam, et mittam stercora, 9 et siquidem fecerit fructum : sin autem, in futurum succides eam.10 Erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis. 11 Et ecce mulier, qu habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo : et erat inclinata, nec omnino poterat sursum respicere. 12 Quam cum videret Jesus, vocavit eam ad se, et ait illi : Mulier, dimissa es ab infirmitate tua. 13 Et imposuit illi manus, et confestim erecta est, et glorificabat Deum. 14 Respondens autem archisynagogus, indignans quia sabbato curasset Jesus, dicebat turb : Sex dies sunt in quibus oportet operari : in his ergo venite, et curamini, et non in die sabbati. 15 Respondens autem ad illum Dominus, dixit : Hypocrit, unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum, aut asinum a prsepio, et ducit adaquare ? 16 Hanc autem filiam Abrah, quam alligavit Satanas, ecce decem et octo annis, non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati ? 17 Et cum hc diceret, erubescant omnes adversarii ejus : et omnis populus gaudebat in universis, qu glorios fiebant ab eo.18 Dicebat ergo : Cui simile est regnum Dei, et cui simile stimabo illud ? 19 Simile est grano sinapis, quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum, et crevit, et factum est in arborem magnam : et volucres cli requieverunt in ramis ejus. 20 Et iterum dixit : Cui simile stimabo regnum Dei ? 21 Simile est fermento, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farin sata tria, donec fermentaretur totum.22 Et ibat per civitates et castella, docens, et iter faciens in Jerusalem. 23 Ait autem illi quidam : Domine, si pauci sunt, qui salvantur ? Ipse autem dixit ad illos : 24 Contendite intrare per angustam portam : quia multi, dico vobis, qurent intrare, et non poterunt. 25 Cum autem intraverit paterfamilias, et clauserit ostium, incipietis foris stare, et pulsare ostium, dicentes : Domine, aperi nobis : et respondens dicet vobis : Nescio vos unde sitis : 26 tunc incipietis dicere : Manducavimus coram te, et bibimus, et in plateis nostris docuisti. 27 Et dicet vobis : Nescio vos unde sitis : discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis. 28 Ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium : cum videritis Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et omnes prophetas in regno Dei, vos autem expelli foras. 29 Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilone, et austro, et accumbent in regno Dei. 30 Et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi, et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi.31 In ipsa die accesserunt quidam pharisorum, dicentes illi : Exi, et vade hinc : quia Herodes vult te occidere. 32 Et ait illis : Ite, et dicite vulpi illi : Ecce ejicio dmonia, et sanitates perficio hodie, et cras, et tertia die consummor. 33 Verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti die ambulare : quia non capit prophetam perire extra Jerusalem. 34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, qu occidis prophetas, et lapidas eos qui mittuntur ad te, quoties volui congregare filios tuos quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pennis, et noluisti ? 35 Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta. Dico autem vobis, quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis : Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
