Luke

And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

And they could not answer him again to these things.

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;

And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.

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!

Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

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.

The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

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.

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.

But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

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:

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

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

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

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.

Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

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.

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?

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?
