Part 23

42:012:049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

42:012:050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!

42:012:051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:

42:012:052 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

42:012:053 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.

42:012:054 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.

42:012:055 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.

42:012:056 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?

42:012:057 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

42:012:058 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.

42:012:059 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

42:013:001 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

42:013:002 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

42:013:003 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

42:013:004 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?

42:013:005 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

42:013:006 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.

42:013:007 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?

42:013:008 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

42:013:009 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

42:013:010 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

42:013:011 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.

42:013:012 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

42:013:013 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

42:013:014 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.

42:013:015 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?

42:013:016 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?

42:013:017 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.
