Luke 13:18-35

18SoG3767 1He was sayingG3004, “2WhatG5101 is the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 likeG3664, and to whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 it? 19It is likeG3664 a mustardG4615 seedG2848, whichG3739 a manG444 tookG2983 and threwG906 into his ownG1438 gardenG2779; and it grewG837 and becameG1096 a treeG1186, and 3the birdsG4071 of the 4airG3772 nestedG2681 in its branchesG2798.”

20And againG3825 He saidG3004, “5To whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 216It is likeG3664 leavenG2219, whichG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983 and hidG2928 in 7threeG5140 8pecksG4568 of flourG224 untilG2193 it was allG3650 leavenedG2220.”

22And He was passingG1279 throughG1279 from one cityG4172 and villageG2968 to anotherG2596, teachingG1321, and 9proceedingG4160 on His wayG4197 to JerusalemG2414. 23And someoneG5100 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, are there just a fewG3641 who are being savedG4982?” And He saidG3004 to them, 24“10StriveG75 to enterG1525 throughG1223 the narrowG4728 doorG2374; for manyG4183, I tellG3004 you, will seekG2212 to enterG1525 and will not be ableG2480. 25OnceG575G3739 the headG3617 of the houseG3617 getsG1453 up and 11shutsG608 the doorG2374, and you beginG757 to standG2476 outsideG1854 and knockG2925 on the doorG2374, sayingG3004, ‘12LordG2962, openG455 up to us!’ thenG2532 He will answerG611 and sayG3004 to you, ‘13I do not knowG3609 whereG4159 you are from.’ 26ThenG5119 you will 14beginG757 to sayG3004, ‘We ateG2068 and drankG4095 in Your presenceG1799, and You taughtG1321 in our streetsG4116’; 27and He will sayG3004, ‘I tellG3004 you, 15I do not knowG3609 whereG4159 you are from; 16departG868 from Me, allG3956 you evildoersG93.’ 2817In that placeG1563 thereG1510 will be weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599 whenG3752 you seeG3708 AbrahamG11 and IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384 and allG3956 the prophetsG4396 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, but yourselvesG4771 being thrownG1544 out. 29And they 18will comeG2240 from eastG395 and westG1424 and from northG1005 and southG3558, and will reclineG347 at the table in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 30And beholdG2400, 19some are lastG2078 whoG3739 will be firstG4413 and some are firstG4413 whoG3739 will be lastG2078.”

31JustG846 at that timeG5610 someG5100 PhariseesG5330 approachedG4334, sayingG3004 to Him, “GoG1831 awayG1831, leaveG4198 hereG1782, for 20HerodG2264 wantsG2309 to killG615 You.” 32And He saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and tellG3004 that foxG258, ‘BeholdG2400, I castG1544 out demonsG1140 and performG658 curesG2392 todayG4594 and tomorrowG839, and the thirdG5154 day I 2122reachG5048 My goalG5048.’ 33NeverthelessG4133 23I mustG1163 journeyG4198 on todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 and the nextG2192 day; for it cannotG1735G3756 be that a 24prophetG4396 would perishG622 outsideG1854 of JerusalemG2419. 3425O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, the city that killsG615 the prophetsG4396 and stonesG3036 thoseG3588 sentG649 to her! HowG4212 oftenG4212 I wantedG2309 to gatherG1996 your childrenG5043 togetherG1996, 26justG3739G5158 as a henG3733 gathers her broodG3555 underG5259 her wingsG4420, and you wouldG2309 not have it! 35BeholdG2400, your houseG3624 is leftG863 to you desolate; and I sayG3004 to you, you will not seeG3708 Me untilG2193 the time comesG2240 whenG3753 you sayG3004, ‘27BlessedG2127 is He who comesG2064 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962!’”
