Luke 13:10-33

10NowG1161 Jesus was 1teachingG1321 in oneG1520 of the synagoguesG4864 on the SabbathG4521. 11And 2thereG2400 was a womanG1135 who for eighteenG1178 yearsG2094 had hadG2192 3a 4sicknessG769 caused by a spiritG4151; and she was bentG4794 overG4794 doubleG4794, and couldG1410 not straightenG352 upG352 atG3838 allG3838. 12When JesusG2424 sawG3708 her, He calledG4377 her overG4377 and saidG3004 to her, “WomanG1135, you are freedG630 from your sicknessG769.” 13And He 5laidG2007 His handsG5495 onG2007 her; and immediatelyG3916 she stoodG461 upG461 straightG461 againG461, and began 6glorifyingG1392 GodG2316. 14But 7the synagogueG752 leaderG752, indignantG23 becauseG3754 JesusG2424 8had healedG2323 on the SabbathG4521, began sayingG3004 to the crowdG3793 inG611 responseG611, “9There are sixG1803 daysG2250 duringG1722 whichG3739 workG2038 shouldG1163 be doneG2038; soG3767 comeG2064 duringG1722 them and getG2323 healedG2323, and not on the SabbathG4521 dayG2250.” 15But 10the LordG2962 answeredG611 him and saidG3004, “You hypocritesG5273, 11does eachG1538 of you on the SabbathG4521 not untieG3089 his oxG1016 orG2228 donkeyG3688 from the stallG5336 and leadG520 it awayG520 to waterG4222 it? 16And thisG3778 womanG3778, 12a daughterG2364 of AbrahamG11 as she is, whomG3739 13SatanG4567 has boundG1210 for 14eighteenG1176G3638 longG2400 yearsG2094, shouldG1163 she not have been releasedG3089 from thisG3778 restraintG1199 on the SabbathG4521 dayG2250?” 17And as He saidG3004 thisG3778, allG3956 His opponentsG480 were being 15humiliatedG2617; and 16the entireG3956 crowdG3793 was rejoicingG5463 overG1909 allG3956 the gloriousG1741 thingsG1741 beingG1096 doneG1096 by Him.

18SoG3767 17He was sayingG3004, “18WhatG5101 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 19the birdsG4071 of the skyG3772 nestedG2681 in its branchesG2798.”

20And againG3825 He saidG3004, “20To whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 2121It is likeG3664 22leavenG2219, whichG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983 and hidG2928 in 23threeG5140 24sataG4568 of flourG224 untilG2193 it was allG3650 leavenedG2220.”

22And He was passingG1279 throughG1279 one cityG4172 and villageG2968 afterG2596 anotherG2596, teachingG1321, and 25proceedingG4160 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“26StriveG75 to enterG1525 throughG1223 the narrowG4728 doorG2374; for manyG4183, I tellG3004 you, will seekG2212 to enterG1525 and will not beG2480 ableG2480. 25OnceG575G3739 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 getsG1453 upG1453 and 27shutsG608 the doorG2374, and you beginG757 standingG2476 outsideG1854 and knockingG2925 on the doorG2374, sayingG3004, ‘28LordG2962, openG455 upG455 to us!’ and He then will answerG611 and sayG3004 to you, ‘29I do not knowG3609 whereG4159 you are from.’ 26ThenG5119 you will 30beginG757 sayingG3004, ‘We ateG2068 and drankG4095 inG1799 Your presenceG1799, and You taughtG1321 in our streetsG4116!’ 27And yet He will 31sayG3004, ‘32I do not knowG3609 whereG4159 you are from; 33leaveG868 Me, allG3956 you 34evildoersG2040G93.’ 2835In that placeG1563 thereG1510 will be weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599 whenG3752 you seeG3708 AbrahamG11, IsaacG2464, JacobG2384, and allG3956 the prophetsG4396 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, but yourselvesG4771 being thrownG1544 outG1544. 29And they 36will comeG2240 from eastG395 and westG1424, and from northG1005 and southG3558, and will reclineG347 at the table in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 30And beholdG2400, 37some are lastG2078 whoG3739 will be firstG4413, and some are firstG4413 whoG3739 will be lastG2078.”

31At that veryG846 timeG5610 someG5100 PhariseesG5330 approachedG4334, sayingG3004 to Him, “GoG1831 awayG1831 and leaveG4198G1782 thisG1782 placeG1782, becauseG3754 38HerodG2264 wantsG2309 to killG615 You.” 32And He saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and tellG3004 that 39foxG258, ‘BeholdG2400, I am castingG1544 outG1544 demonsG1140 and performingG658 healingsG2392 todayG4594 and tomorrowG839, and on the thirdG5154 day I 4041reachG5048 My goalG5048.’ 33NeverthelessG4133 42I mustG1163 goG4198 on My journeyG4198 todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 and the nextG2192 day; for it cannotG1735G3756 beG1735 that a 43prophetG4396 would perishG622 outsideG1854 JerusalemG2419.
