Light-Giving (Luke) 13

 ¹There were present at that season some that told Him of those from Circuit-District (Galilee), whose blood Armed With a Spear (Pilate) had mingled with their sacrifices.

² I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) answered them, “Do you suppose that these from Circuit-District (Galilee) were sinners above all those from Circuit-District (Galilee), because they suffered such things?

³ I tell you, no: but, except you repent, you will all likewise perish.

⁴ Or those eighteen, on whom the tower at the pool of Sent (Siloam) fell, and killed them, do you think that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Rain of Peace (Jerusalem)?

⁵ I tell you, no: but, except you repent, you will all likewise perish.”

⁶ He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon and found none.

⁷ Then he said to the dresser of his vineyard, ‘Look, these three years I’ve come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why have it in the ground?’

⁸ And he answering said to him, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, till I will dig about it, and dung it:

⁹ And if it bears fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou will cut it down.”

¹⁰ He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.

¹¹ And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could not lift herself.

¹² When I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) saw her, He called her to Him, and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”

¹³ And He laid His hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

¹⁴ And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) had healed on the Sabbath day, and said to the people, “There are six days in which men ought to work: therefore in them come and be healed, not on the Sabbath day.”

¹⁵ The Lord then rebuked him, “You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

¹⁶ And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), whom Adversary (Satan) has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”

¹⁷ And when He had said these things, all His adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that He was doing.

¹⁸ Then He said, “To what is the Kingdom of God like? What can I compare it to?

¹⁹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”

²⁰ And again He said, “What will I liken the Kingdom of God to?

²¹ It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”

²² And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Rain of Peace (Jerusalem).

²³ Then He was asked, “Lord, are there few that will be saved?” He answered,

^24 “Strive to enter in at the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

²⁵ When once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you are still outside knocking, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us’, He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know who you are:’

²⁶ Then you will say, ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets.’

²⁷ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know you; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’

²⁸ There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Father of a Multitude (Abraham), and Laughter (Isaac), and Heel-Grabber (Jacob), and all the prophets, in the Kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

²⁹ And they will come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and will sit down in the Kingdom of God.

³⁰ And, behold, there are last which will be first, and there are first which will be last.”

³¹ That same day, certain of The Separates (Pharisees) came, saying to Him, “Get out, and depart from here: for Heroic (Herod) will kill you.”

³² But He said to them, “Go, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I will be perfected.

³³ Nevertheless, I must walk today, and tomorrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Rain of Peace (Jerusalem).

³⁴ O Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), Rain of Peace (Jerusalem), you who kill the prophets, and stone them that are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you would not!

³⁵ Behold, your house is left desolate: and Truly I say to you, you will not see Me, until the time comes when you will say, Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord.”
