4 As those eighteen upon whom the tower fell in Siloe, and slew them: think you that they also were debters above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?📜💬📚

5 No, I say to you: but if you have not penance you shall all likewise perish.📜💬📚

Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

6 And he said this similitude: A certain man had a figtree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking for fruit on it, and found not.📜💬📚

7 And he said to the dresser of the vineyard, Lo it is three years since I come seeking for fruit upon this figtree, and I find not. Cut it down therefore; whereto doth it also occupy the ground?📜💬📚

8 But he answering said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.📜💬📚

9 And if happily it yield fruit: but if not, hereafter thou shalt cut it down.📜💬📚

Jesus Heals an Infirm Woman

10 And he was teaching in their Synagogue on the Sabboths.📜💬📚

11 And behold a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and she was crooked, neither could she look upward at all.📜💬📚

12 Whom when JESUS saw, he called her unto him, and said to her: Woman, thou art delivered from thy infirmity.📜💬📚

13 And he imposed hands upon her, and forthwith she was made straight and glorified God.📜💬📚

Helping on the Sabbath

14 And the Archsynagogue answering (because he had indignation that JESUS had cured on the Sabboth) said to the multitude: Six days there are wherein you ought to work. In them therefore come, and be cured; and not in the Sabboth day.📜💬📚

15 And our Lord answering to him, said: Hypocrite, doth not every one of you upon the Sabboth loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and leadeth them to water?📜💬📚

16 But this daughter of Abraham whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, ought not she to be loosed from this bond on the Sabboth day?📜💬📚

17 And when he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced in all things that were gloriously done of him.📜💬📚

Parable of the Mustard Seed

18 He said therefore: Whereunto is the Kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I esteem it like?📜💬📚

19 It is like to a mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden and it grew, and became a great tree, & the fowls of the air rested in the boughs thereof.📜💬📚

Parable of the Leaven

20 And again he said: Like to what shall I esteem 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 by the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey unto Jerusalem.📜💬📚

Narrow Gate Many Seek, Few Enter

23 And a certain man said to him: Lord, be they few that are saved? But he said to them:📜💬📚

24 Strive to enter by the narrow gate: because many, I say to you, shall seek to enter, and shall not be able.📜💬📚

I Know You Not

25 But when the good-man of the house shall enter in, and shut the door, and 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:📜💬📚

26 then you shall begin to say: We did eat before thee and drink, and in our streets didst thou teach.📜💬📚

27 And he shall say to you, I know you not whence you are, depart from me all ye workers of iniquity.📜💬📚

28 There 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 to be thrust out.📜💬📚

From East and West and North and South

29 And there shall come from the East and West & the North and the South; and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God.📜💬📚

30 And behold, they are last that shall be first, and they be first that shall be last.📜💬📚

Lament over Jerusalem

31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart and get thee hence, because Herod will kill thee.📜💬📚

32 And he said to them: Go, and tell that fox, Behold I cast out devils, and perfit cures this day and to morrow, and the third day I am consummate.📜💬📚

33 But yet I must walk this day and to morrow and the day following, because it cannot be that a Prophet perish out of Jerusalem.📜💬📚

34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem which killest the Prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, how often would I gather thy children as the bird doth her brood under her wings, and thou wouldest not?📜💬📚

35 Behold your house shall be left desert to you. And I say to you, that you shall not see me till it come when you shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of our Lord.📜💬📚
