xiii. Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they Chapter were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem ? 5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. The parable of the fruitless 6 He spake also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found fig tree. none. 7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. 15 But some of them said, He casteth out Chapter devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, dom A kingdivided against itself. xi. Chapter how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. Not with me. Chapter xiii. Kingdom of God like a mustard seed. Leaven. 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace : 22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and devideth his spoils. 23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. 20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. xii. 54 ¶ And he said also to the people, When Chapter ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 55 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 56 Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time? 57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? 1 In the meantime, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Discern this time. Beware Pharisees. of the ix. 18 And it came to pass, as he was alone Chapter praying, his disciples were with him and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? The people's 19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of opinion of the old prophets is risen again. 20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. Christ. Peter. Chapter ix. Jesus foretells sufferings 21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; 22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many his things, and be rejected of the elders and chief death. priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. and Not against us, Jeru salem. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God. 49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. 50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. 51 And it came to pass, when the time was cone that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, 52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are Chapter of. ix.

And they went come to to another village. save. xvi. 1 And he said also unto his disciples, There Chapter was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. 3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. 4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 7 Then said he to another, And how much The parable of the unjust steward. How much owest thou? |
