Turn back or die
There were some there at that time who told him about the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered them, Do you suppose these Galilaeans were worse sinners than all the other Galilaeans, because they suffered this? I tell you, no. But unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way. Or those eighteen the tower in Siloam fell on and killed — do you think they were worse offenders than everyone else living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no. But unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way. And he told this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. And he came looking for fruit on it, and found none. Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, Look — for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground? And he answered him, Sir, leave it this year too, until I dig round it and put manure on it. And if it bears fruit, good. And if not, then after that you can cut it down.
There were some there at that season who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered them: Do you think these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered things like that? I tell you, no. But unless you turn back, you'll all die the same way. Or those eighteen the tower in Siloam fell on and killed them — do you think they were worse than all the men who lived in Jerusalem? I tell you, no. But unless you turn back, you'll all die the same way. He spoke this story too: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. And he came and looked for fruit on it and found none. Then he said to the vinedresser: Look — these three years I come looking for fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down. Why does it use up the ground? And he answered him: Lord, leave it this year too, till I dig round it and put on manure. And if it bears fruit, good. And if not, then after that you can cut it down.
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 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 none. 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? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

The bent woman
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And there was a woman there who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and couldn't straighten up at all. And when Jesus saw her he called her to him and said to her, Woman, you are set free from your infirmity. And he laid his hands on her, and straight away she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with anger, because Jesus had healed on the sabbath day. And he said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work. Come and be healed on those, and not on the sabbath day. Then the Lord answered him and said, You hypocrite. Doesn't each one of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to water? And this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years — shouldn't she be set free from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he had said this, all his opponents were put to shame. And all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things done by him.
And he was teaching in one of the meeting houses on the sabbath. And look — there was a woman who had a spirit of weakness eighteen years, and was bent together and couldn't lift herself up at all. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him and said to her: Woman, you're set free from your weakness. And he laid his hands on her. And straight away she was made straight and gave glory to God. And the ruler of the meeting house answered with anger, because Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said to the people: There are six days when men ought to work. So come in those and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord answered him: You hypocrite, doesn't each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water? And shouldn't this woman, being a daughter of Abraham who Satan has tied up now these eighteen years, be untied from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he'd said these things, everyone against him was ashamed. And all the people celebrated over all the glorious things done by him.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

The mustard seed and the yeast
Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? And what should I compare it to? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his garden. And it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches. And again he said, What should I compare the kingdom of God to? It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole lot had risen.

It's like yeast that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till the whole was leavened.
Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? 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. And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

The narrow door
And he went through the towns and villages, teaching, and travelling toward Jerusalem. Then someone said to him, Lord, are there only a few who are saved? And he said to them, Strive to go in by the narrow gate. Because many, I tell you, will try to go in and won't be able to. Once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us — he will answer and say to you, I don't know where you are from. Then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets. But he will say, I tell you, I don't know where you are from. Get away from me, all you who do evil. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrown out. 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. And look — there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last. That same day some of the Pharisees came, saying to him, Get out and leave here, because Herod wants to kill you. And he said to them, Go and tell that fox, Look — I drive out demons and work cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be finished. Even so, I must go on today and tomorrow and the day after. Because it can't be that a prophet should die outside Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you — how often I would have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings. And you wouldn't. Look — your house is left to you desolate. And I tell you the truth, you won't see me until the time comes when you say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
And he went through the towns and villages teaching, and going towards Jerusalem. Then one said to him: Lord, are there few who are saved? And he said to them: Try hard to go in at the narrow door. Because plenty, I say to you, will look to go in and won't be able. When once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, and you start to stand outside and to knock at the door: Lord, Lord, open to us — and he'll answer you: I don't know you or where you're from. Then you'll start to say: We've eaten and drunk in front of you, and you've taught in our streets. But he'll say: I tell you, I don't know you or where you're from. Get away from me, all you workers of wrongdoing. There'll be weeping and gnashing of teeth there, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and you thrust out. And they'll 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. And look — there are last who'll be first, and there are first who'll be last. The same day some of the Pharisees came: Get out and go from here. Because Herod wants to kill you. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Look — I throw out demons and do cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I'll be finished. But still I have to walk today and tomorrow and the day after. Because it can't be that a prophet dies outside Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones the ones sent to you — how often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you wouldn't. Look — your house is left to you waste. And truly I say to you, you won't see me till the time comes when you say: Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. 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. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
