Chapter 13
Luke Worsley 13:1  There were present at the same time, some that told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Luke Worsley 13:2  And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye think that these were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things?
Luke Worsley 13:3  I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke Worsley 13:4  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do ye think that they were sinners above all the inhabitants in Jerusalem?
Luke Worsley 13:5  I tell you, No: but, unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke Worsley 13:6  And He spake this parable, A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
Luke Worsley 13:7  And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber the ground?
Luke Worsley 13:8  And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it:
Luke Worsley 13:9  then perhaps it may bear fruit; if not, afterwards cut it down.
Luke Worsley 13:10  And when He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath-day,
Luke Worsley 13:11  there was a woman that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and utterly unable to lift herself upright.
Luke Worsley 13:12  And when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
Luke Worsley 13:13  And He laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Luke Worsley 13:14  But the ruler of the synagogue, being provoked that Jesus had wrought a cure on the sabbath-day, said to the people, There are six days in which ye ought to work; on these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.
Luke Worsley 13:15  The Lord therefore answered him and said, Thou hypocrite, does not any of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall and lead him away to watering?
Luke Worsley 13:16  And might not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?
Luke Worsley 13:17  Upon his saying this, all his adversaries were ashamed: but the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.
Luke Worsley 13:18  Then said He, To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
Luke Worsley 13:19  It is like a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree, and the birds of the air lodged in it's boughs.
Luke Worsley 13:20  And again He said, To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?
Luke Worsley 13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and put into three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Luke Worsley 13:22  And he went through the cities and villages teaching, as He journeyed towards Jerusalem.
Luke Worsley 13:23  And one said to Him, Lord, are there but few that shall be saved?
Luke Worsley 13:24  But He said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate; for I tell you, many will desire to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luke Worsley 13:25  When the master of the house shall have risen up and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without and knock at the door saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say to you, I know you not, whence ye are:
Luke Worsley 13:26  then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drank in thy presence,
Luke Worsley 13:27  and thou hast taught in our streets, But He will say, I tell you, I know you not, whence ye are; depart from me all ye workers of iniquity:
Luke Worsley 13:28  and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves shut out.
Luke Worsley 13:29  Yea they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
Luke Worsley 13:30  And behold, there are some last who shall be first, and there are first that shall be last.
Luke Worsley 13:31  At the same time came some of the pharisees, and said to Him, Go out and depart hence, for Herod intends to kill thee.
Luke Worsley 13:32  And He said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and to-morrow; and in a little while I am to be perfected:
Luke Worsley 13:33  but I must procede to-day and to-morrow and the following; for it cannot be supposed that a prophet should be cut off but in Jerusalem.
Luke Worsley 13:34  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and ye would not?
Luke Worsley 13:35  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I assure you ye shall not see me again till the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
