| CH. XI. 47-54. | |
| 47 Then gathered the chief priests
and the Pharisees a council, and said,
What do we? for this man doeth
many miracles. | |
| 48 If we let him thus alone, all
men will believe on him: and the
Romans shall come, and take away
both our place and nation. | |
| 49 And one of them, named Caiaphas,
being the high priest that same
year, said unto them, Ye know nothing
at all, | |
| 50 Nor consider that it is expedient
for us, that one man should die for the
people, and that the whole nation
perish not. | |
| 51 And this spake he not of himself:
but being high priest that year,
he prophesied that Jesus should die
for that nation; | |
| 52 And not for that nation only,
but that also he should gather together
in one the children of God that were
scattered abroad. | |
| 53 Then from that day forth they
took counsel together for to put him
to death. | |
| 54 Jesus therefore walked no more
openly among the Jews; but went
thence unto a country near to the wilderness,
into a city called Ephraim,
and there continued with his disciples. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIII. 10-21. | |
| 10 And he was teaching in one of
the synagogues on the sabbath. | |
| 11 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. | |
| 12 And when Jesus saw her, he
called her to him, and said unto her,
Woman, thou art loosed from thine
infirmity. | |
| 13 And he laid his hands on her:
and immediately she was made straight,
and glorified God. | |
| 14 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. | |
| 15 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? | |
| 16 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? | |
| 17 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. | |
| 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. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIII. 22-35. | |
| 22 And he went through the cities
and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem. | |
| 23 Then said one unto him, Lord,
are there few that be saved? And he
said unto them, | |
| 24 Strive to enter in at the strait
gate: for many, I say unto you,
will seek to enter in, and shall not be
able. | |
| 25 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: | |
| 26 Then shall ye begin to say,
We have eaten and drunk in thy
presence, and thou hast taught in our
streets. | |
| 27 But he shall say, I tell you, I
know you not whence ye are; depart
from me, all ye workers of iniquity. | |
| 28 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. | |
| 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. | |
| 30 And behold, there are last,
which shall be first; and there are
first, which shall be last. | |
| 31 The same day there came certain
of the Pharisees, saying unto him,
Get thee out, and depart hence; for
Herod will kill thee. | |
| 32 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. | |
| 33 Nevertheless, I must work to-day
and to-morrow, and the day following:
for it cannot be that a prophet
perish out of Jerusalem. | |
| 34 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! | |
| 35 Behold, your house is left unto
you desolate.[215] 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. | |
| Luke. | |
| CH. XIV. 1-24. | |
| 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. | |
| 2 And behold, there was a certain
man before him which had the dropsy. | |
| 3 And Jesus answering, spake unto
the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is
it lawful to heal on the sabbath-day? | |
| 4 And they held their peace. And
he took him, and healed him, and let
him go: | |
| 5 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? | |
| 6 And they could not answer him
again to these things. | |
| 7 And he put forth a parable to
those which were bidden, when he
marked how they chose out the chief
rooms; saying unto them, | |
| 8 When thou art bidden of any man
to a wedding, sit not down in the
highest room, lest a more honourable
man than thou be bidden of him; | |
| 9 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. | |
| 10 But when thou art bidden, go
and sit down in the lowest room;
that when he that bade thee cometh,
he may say unto thee, Friend, go up
higher: then shalt thou have worship
in the presence of them that sit at
meat with thee. | |
| 11 For whosoever exalteth himself
shall be abased, and he that humbleth
himself shall be exalted. | |
| 12 Then said he also to him that
bade him, When thou makest a dinner
or a supper, call not thy friends, nor
thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor
thy rich neighbours; lest they also
bid thee again, and a recompense be
made thee. | |
| 13 But when thou makest a feast,
call the poor, the maimed, the lame,
the blind; | |
| 14 And thou shalt be blessed: for
they cannot recompense thee: for thou
shalt be recompensed at the resurrection
of the just. | |
| 15 And when one of them that sat
at meat with him heard these things,
he said unto him, Blessed is he that
shall eat bread in the kingdom of
God. | |
| 16 Then said he unto him, A certain
man made a great supper, and
bade many: | |
| 17 And sent his servant at supper-time,
to say to them that were bidden,
Come, for all things are now
ready. | |
| 18 And they all with one consent
began to make excuse. The first
said unto him, I have bought a piece
of ground, and I must needs go and
see it: I pray thee have me excused. | |
| 19 And another said, I have bought
five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove
them: I pray thee have me excused. | |
| 20 And another said, I have married
a wife: and therefore I cannot
come. | |
| 21 So that servant came, and
shewed his lord these things. Then
the master of the house being angry,
said to his servant, Go out quickly
into the streets and lanes of the
city, and bring in hither the poor, and
the maimed, and the halt, and the
blind. | |
| 22 And the servant said, Lord, it is
done as thou hast commanded, and yet
there is room. | |
| 23 And the lord said unto the servant,
Go out into the highways and
hedges, and compel them to come in,
that my house may be filled. | |
| 24 For I say unto you, that none of
those men which were bidden, shall
taste of my supper. | |
