⥃A Call to Repentance ^{[ Joel 1:13–20 † Amos 5:4–15 † Zephaniah 2:1–3 ]}

[1] There were present at that season some that told him of the Galileans², whose blood Pilate had mingled³ with their sacrifices. [2] And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose⁴ ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? [3] I tell you, Nay: but, except⁵ ye repent, ye shall⁶ all likewise perish. [4] Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam⁷ fell⁸, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners⁹ above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? [5] I tell you, Nay: but, except¹⁰ ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

⥃The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree ^{[ Isaiah 5:1–7 ]}

[6] He spake also this parable; A certain [man] had a fig tree¹¹ planted in his vineyard; and he came¹² and sought fruit thereon, and found none. [7] Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three¹³ years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut¹⁴ it down; why¹⁵ cumbereth it the ground? [8] And he answering said unto him, Lord, let¹⁶ it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]: [9] And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not¹⁷, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.

⥃Jesus Heals a Disabled Woman

[10] And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.¹⁸

[11] And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit¹⁹ of infirmity eighteen²⁰ years, and was bowed²¹ together, and could in no wise lift up [herself]. [12] And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and said unto her, Woman²², thou art loosed²³ from thine infirmity. [13] And he laid²⁴ [his] hands on her: and immediately²⁵ she was made straight, and glorified God. [14] And the ruler²⁶ of the synagogue answered with²⁷ indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There²⁸ are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not²⁹ on the sabbath day. [15] The Lord then answered him, and said, [Thou] hypocrite³⁰, doth not³¹ 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, being³² a daughter of Abraham, whom³³ Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed³⁴ from this bond on the sabbath day? [17] And when he had said these things, all his³⁵ adversaries were ashamed: and all³⁶ the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

⥃The Parable of the Mustard Seed ^{[ Matthew 13:31–32 † Mark 4:30–34 ]}

[18] Then said he, Unto³⁷ what is the kingdom³⁸ of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? [19] It is like³⁹ a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast⁴⁰ into his garden; and it⁴¹ grew, and waxed a great tree; and the⁴² fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

⥃The Parable of the Leaven ^{[ Matthew 13:33 ]}

[20] And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? [21] It is like⁴³ leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till⁴⁴ the whole was leavened.

⥃The Narrow Door ^{[ Matthew 7:13–14 ]}

[22] And he went through⁴⁵ the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying⁴⁶ toward Jerusalem. [23] Then said one unto him, Lord, are⁴⁷ there few that be saved? And⁴⁸ he said unto them,

[24] Strive⁴⁹ to enter in at the strait⁵⁰ gate: for⁵¹ many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. [25] When once⁵² the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut⁵³ to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord⁵⁴, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know⁵⁵ you not whence ye are: [26] Then shall ye begin to say, We⁵⁶ have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. [27] But he shall say, I tell⁵⁷ you, I know you not whence ye are; depart⁵⁸ from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity. [28] There shall be weeping⁵⁹ and gnashing of teeth, when⁶⁰ ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom⁶¹ of God, and you⁶² [yourselves] thrust out. [29] And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.⁶³ [30] And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.⁶⁴

⥃Lament over Jerusalem ^{[ Matthew 23:37–39 ]}

[31] The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get⁶⁵ thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. [32] And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox⁶⁶, Behold, I cast⁶⁷ out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third [day] I shall⁶⁸ be perfected. [33] Nevertheless I must⁶⁹ walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day] following: for⁷⁰ it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. [34] O Jerusalem⁷¹, Jerusalem, which killest⁷² the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how⁷³ often would I have gathered thy⁷⁴ children together, as⁷⁵ a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and ye⁷⁶ would not! [35] Behold, your⁷⁷ house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not⁷⁸ see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed⁷⁹ [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
