Luke

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.

And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

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 he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

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?

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.

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.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.

Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

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?

And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

And that servant, which knew his lord"s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
