| Now there were some present at that very season who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. | 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. |
| And he answered and said unto them, Think ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered these things? | 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? |
| I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all in like manner perish. | I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end. |
| Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem? | 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? |
| I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. | 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. |
| And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. | 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. |
| And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? | 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? |
| And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: | 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: |
| and if it bear fruit thenceforth, [well]; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. | And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down. |
| And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day. | And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath. |
| And behold, a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up. | And there was a woman who had had a disease for eighteen years; she was bent, and was not able to make herself straight. |
| And when Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. | And when Jesus saw her, he said to her, Woman, you are made free from your disease. |
| And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. | And he put his hands on her, and she was made straight, and gave praise to God. |
| And the ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, answered and said to the multitude, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the day of the sabbath. | 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. |
| But the Lord answered him, and said, Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? | 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? |
| And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath? | 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? |
| And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame: and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. | 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. |
| He said therefore, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I liken it? | Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? what comparison may I make of it? |
| It is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree; and the birds of the heaven lodged in the branches thereof. | 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. |
| And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? | And again he said, What is the kingdom of God like? |
| It is like unto leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened. | It is like leaven, which a woman put into three measures of meal, and it was all leavened. |
| And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem. | And he went on his way, through towns and country places, teaching and journeying to Jerusalem. |
| And one said unto him, Lord, are they few that are saved? And he said unto them, | And someone said to him, Lord, will only a small number have salvation? And he said to them, |
| Strive to enter in by the narrow door: for many, I say unto you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able. | 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. |
| When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are; | 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. |
| then shall ye begin to say, We did eat and drink in thy presence, and thou didst teach in our streets; | Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets. |
| and he shall say, I tell you, I know not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. | But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil. |
| There shall 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 cast forth without. | 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. |
| And they shall come from the east and west, and from the north and south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. | 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. |
| And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last. | And the last will be first, and the first will be last. |
| In that very hour there came certain Pharisees, saying to him, Get thee out, and go hence: for Herod would fain kill thee. | 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. |
| And he said unto them, Go and say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am perfected. | 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. |
| Nevertheless I must go on my way to-day and to-morrow and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. | 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. |
| O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen [gathereth] her own brood under her wings, and ye would not! | 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! |
| Behold, your house is left unto you [desolate]: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. | 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. |
