Luke 13:10-33

10One SabbathG4521 Jesus wasG1510 teachingG1321 inG1722 oneG1520 of theG3588 synagoguesG4864, 11andG2532 a womanG1135 thereG2400 had beenG2192 disabledG769 by a spiritG4151 for eighteenG1176G3638 yearsG2094. She wasG1510 hunched overG4794 andG2532 couldG1410 notG3361 stand upG352 straightG1519G3588G3838. 12WhenG1161 JesusG2424 sawG3708 herG846, He called her overG4377 andG2532 saidG2036, “WomanG1135, you are set freeG630 from yourG4771 disabilityG769.” 13ThenG2532 He placedG2007 His handsG5495 on herG846, andG2532 immediatelyG3916 she straightened upG461 andG2532 began to glorifyG1392 GodG2316.

14ButG1161 theG3588 synagogue leaderG752 was indignantG23 thatG3754 JesusG2424 had healedG2323 on theG3588 SabbathG4521. “There areG1510 sixG1803 daysG2250 forG1722G3739G1163 workG2038,” he toldG2036 theG3588 crowdG3793. “SoG3767 comeG2064 and be healedG2323 onG1722 thoseG846 days andG2532 notG3361 on theG3588 SabbathG2250G3588G4521.”

15“You hypocritesG5273!” theG3588 LordG2962 repliedG611G846G2532G2036. “Does notG3756 eachG1538 of youG4771 on theG3588 SabbathG4521 untieG3089 hisG846 oxG1016 orG2228 donkeyG3688 fromG575 theG3588 stallG5336 andG2532 lead itG520 to waterG4222? 16ThenG1161 shouldG1163 notG3756 thisG3778 daughterG1510G2364 of AbrahamG11, whomG3739 SatanG4567 has kept boundG1210 for eighteenG1176G2532G3638 long yearsG2094, be releasedG3089 fromG575 her bondageG1199 on theG3588 SabbathG4521 dayG2250?”

17WhenG2532 Jesus saidG3004 thisG3778, allG3956 His adversariesG480 were humiliatedG2617. AndG2532 theG3588 wholeG3956 crowdG3793 rejoicedG5463 atG1909 allG3956 theG3588 glorious thingsG1741 He was doingG1096G5259G846.

18ThenG3767 Jesus askedG2036, “WhatG5101 isG1510 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 likeG3664? To whatG5101 can I compareG3666 itG846? 19It isG1510 likeG3664 a mustard seedG2848G4615 thatG3739 a manG444 tossedG2983G906 intoG1519 hisG1438 gardenG2779. It grewG837 andG2532 becameG1096G1519 a treeG1186, andG2532 theG3588 birdsG4071 of theG3588 airG3772 nestedG2681 inG1722 itsG846 branchesG2798.”

20

AgainG3825 He askedG2036, “To whatG5101 can I compareG3666 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 21It isG1510 likeG3664 leavenG2219 thatG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983 and mixedG2928 intoG1519 threeG5140 measuresG4568 of flourG224, untilG2193 allG3650 of itG3739 was leavenedG2220.”

22ThenG2532 Jesus traveledG1279 throughoutG2596 the townsG4172 andG2532 villagesG2968, teachingG1321 as He madeG4160 His wayG4197 towardG1519 JerusalemG2414. 23“LordG2962,” someoneG5100 askedG2036 HimG846, “will only a fewG3641 people be savedG4982?”

Jesus answeredG2036, 24“Make every effortG75 to enterG1525 throughG1223 theG3588 narrowG4728 doorG2374. ForG3754 manyG4183, I tellG3004 youG4771, will tryG2212 to enterG1525 andG2532 will not be ableG3756G2480. 25AfterG575G3739G302 theG3588 master of the houseG3617 gets upG1453 andG2532 shutsG608 theG3588 doorG2374, you willG756 standG2476 outsideG1854 knockingG2925G3588G2374 and sayingG3004, ‘LordG2962, open the doorG455 for usG1473.’

ButG2532 he will replyG2046G4771, ‘I do not knowG3756G1492 whereG4159 youG4771 are fromG1510.’

26ThenG5119 you willG756 sayG3004, ‘We ateG5315 andG2532 drankG4095 with youG4771G1799, andG2532 you taughtG1321 inG1722 ourG1473 streetsG4113.’

27AndG2532 he will answerG2046, ‘I tellG3004 youG4771, I do not knowG3756G1492 whereG4159 youG4771 are fromG1510. DepartG868 fromG575 meG1473, allG3956 you evildoersG2040G93.’

28ThereG1563 will beG1510 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 ofG3588 teethG3599 whenG3752 you seeG3708 AbrahamG11, IsaacG2464, JacobG2384, andG2532 allG3956 theG3588 prophetsG4396 inG1722 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316, butG1161 you yourselvesG4771 are thrownG1544 outG1854. 29People will comeG2240 fromG575 eastG395 andG2532 westG1424 andG2532 northG1005 andG2532 southG3558, andG2532 will recline at the tableG347 inG1722 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 30AndG2532 indeedG2400, some who areG1510G3739 lastG2078 will beG1510 firstG4413, andG2532 some who areG1510G3739 firstG4413 will beG1510 lastG2078.”

31AtG1722 thatG3588 veryG846 hourG5610, someG5100 PhariseesG5330 came toG4334 Jesus and toldG3004 HimG846, “LeaveG1831 this placeG1782 andG2532 get awayG4198, becauseG3754 HerodG2264 wantsG2309 to killG615 YouG4771.”

32ButG2532 Jesus repliedG2036G846, “GoG4198 tellG2036 thatG3778 foxG258, ‘LookG2400, I will keep driving outG1544 demonsG1140 andG2532 healingG658G2392 people todayG4594 andG2532 tomorrowG839, andG2532 on theG3588 thirdG5154 day I will reach My goalG5048.’ 33NeverthelessG4133, IG1473 mustG1163 keep goingG4198 todayG4594 andG2532 tomorrowG839 andG2532 theG3588 nextG2192 day, forG3754 it is not admissibleG3756G1735 for a prophetG4396 to perishG622 outside ofG1854 JerusalemG2419.
