ye shall all in like manner perish.

(6)He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in
his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.
(7)And he said to the vine-dresser: Behold, three years I come seeking
fruit on this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down; why does it also
encumber[13:7] the ground? (8)And he answering says to him: Lord, let
it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and cast in
manure. (9)And if it bear fruit--; and if not, hereafter thou shalt
cut it down[13:9].

(10)And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
(11)And, behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years, and was bowed together, and wholly unable to raise
herself up. (12)And Jesus seeing her, called her to him, and said to
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 answering (being indignant

he said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the
multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

(18)He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like? And to what
shall I liken it? (19)It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man
took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and became a great tree,
and the birds of the air lodged in its branches.

(20)And again he said: To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
(21)It is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures

(22)And he went through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying
toward Jerusalem.

(23)And a certain one said to him: Lord, are there few that are saved?
(24)And he said to them: Strive to enter in through the strait gate;
for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.
