13  Na i reira etahi i taua wa nana i korero ki a ia nga tangata o Kariri, i whakaranua nei o ratou toto e Pirato ki a ratou patunga tapu.

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a ratou, E mea ana ranei koutou, he hara rawa aua tangata o Kariri i nga tangata katoa o Kariri, no te mea he pera o ratou mate?

Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Kahore; engari ki te kore koutou e ripeneta, ka pera ano hoki koutou katoa te mate.

Me taua tekau ma waru i horoa nei e te pourewa o Hiroama, a mate iho, e mea ana oti koutou, he hara rawa ratou i nga tangata katoa e noho ana i hiruharama?

Ko taku tenei ki a koutou, Kahore: engari ki te kore koutou e ripeneta, ka pera ano koutou katoa te mate.

A i korerotia e ia tenei kupu whakarite; He piki ta tetahi tangata, he mea whakato ki tana mara waina; na ka haere mai ia, ka rapu hua i runga, a kihai i kitea.

Katahi ia ka mea ki te kaimahi waina, Na, ka toru enei oku tau e haere mai ana ki te rapu hua i runga i tenei piki, heoi kahore i kitea: tuaina ki raro; hei aha i maumauria ai hoki te whenua?

Na ka whakahoki tera, ka mea ki a ia, E te ariki, waiho ano hoki i tenei tau, kia keria ra ano e ahau nga taha, kia maka hoki he wairakau:

A ki te whai hua a houange, ka waiho; ki te kahore, mau e tua ki raro.

10 A i roto ia i tetahi o nga whare karakia e whakaako ana i te hapati.

11 Na ko tetahi wahine, he wairua ngoikore tona, kotahi tekau ma waru nga tau, piko tonu, kihai rawa i ahei te whakatika ake.

12 A, no te kitenga o Ihu i a ia, ka karanga atu ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, E kui, ka oti tou ngoikore te whakamatara.

13 Na whakapakia iho e ia ona ringa ki a ia: a kihai i aha kua tika, whakakororia ana i te Atua.

14 Na, he riri nona mo Ihu i whakaora i te hapati, ka korero te rangatira o te whare karakia, ka mea ki te mano, E ono nga ra e tika ai te tangata te mahi: hei reira koutou haere mai ai kia whakaorangia; kauaka i te hapati.

15 Na ka whakahoki te Ariki ki a ia, ka mea, E nga tangata tinihanga, e kore ianei tenei tangata, tenei tangata o koutou e wewete i tana kau i te hapati, i tana kaihe ranei, ka arahi atu ai i te turanga ki te whakainu?

16 Kahore ranei tenei wahine, he tamahine nei na Aperahama, i herea nei e hatana i enei tau tekau ma waru, e tika kia wetekina i tona here i te ra hapati?

17 A, no ka korerotia enei mea e ia, ka whakama katoa te hunga e whakahe na ki a ia: a hari katoa te mano ki nga mea kororia katoa i meinga e ia.

18 Na ka mea ia, He rite te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha? a me whakarite e ahau ki te aha?

19 He rite ki te pua nani, i kawea e te tangata, i ruia ki tana kari; a ka tupu, ka whakarakau; no ka noho nga manu o te rangi ki ona manga.

20 A i mea ano ia, Me whakarite e ahau te rangatiratanga o te Atua ki te aha?

21 He rite ki te rewena i tangohia e tetahi wahine, a whaongia ana ki roto ki nga mehua paraoa e toru, no ka rewenatia katoa.

22 A ka haereerea e ia nga pa, nga kainga, whakaako ai, me te ahu tonu ki Hiruharama.

23 Na ka mea tetahi ki a ia, E te Ariki, he torutoru koia te hunga e ora? Na ko tana meatanga ki a ratou,

24 Kia kaha te tohe ki te tomo ma te kuwaha kuiti: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, he tokomaha e whai ki te tomo, a e kore e taea.

25 Kia whakatika kau te tangata i te whare, kia tutakina te tatau, katahi koutou ka anga ka tu i waho, ka patuki ki te tatau, ka mea, E te Ariki, uakina ki a matou; na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea ki a koutou, Kahore ahau i mohio ki a koutou, no hea ran ei;

26 Ko reira koutou timata ai te mea, Kua kai matou, kua inu i tou aroaro, i whakaako ano koe i o matou huarahi.

27 A ka ki ano ia, Ka mea atu ahau ki a koutou, kahore ahau i matau ki a koutou, no hea ranei; mawehe atu i a ahau, e nga kaimahi katoa i te kino.

28 Ko te wa tena o te tangi, o te tetea o nga niho, ina kite koutou i a Aperahama, i a Ihaka, i a Hakopa, i nga poropiti katoa, kei te rangatiratanga o te Atua, a ko koutou kua maka ki waho.

29 A ka haere mai ratou i te rawhiti, i te hauauru, i te hauraro, i te tonga, ka noho ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

30 Na, tera etahi o muri e meinga ki mua, me etahi o mua ki muri.

31 I taua haora ano ka tae mai etahi parihi, ka mea ki a ia, haere, whakarerea a konei: e hiahia ana hoki a Herora kia whakamatea koe.

32 Ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere, mea atu ki taua pokiha, Na, tenei ahau te pei rewera nei, te mahi nei i te mahi whakaora aianei, apopo, a i te toru o nga ra ka oti taku.

33 Otiia me haereere ahau aianei, apopo, a tahi ra: e kore hoki e ahei kia mate he poropiti i waho o Hiruharama.

34 E Hiruharama, e Hiruharama, e whakamate nei i nga poropiti, e aki nei ki te kamaka i te hunga e tonoa ana ki a koe; ano te tini o aku meatanga kia whakaminea au tamariki, kia peratia me te heihei e whakamine nei i ana pi ki raro ki ona parirau, a kihai koutou i pai!

35 Na, ka mahue atu ki a koutou to koutou whare kia takoto noa ana: he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore koutou e kite i ahau, kia tae mai ra ano te ra e mea ai koutou, Ka whakapaingia ia e haere mai ana i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki.

Repent or Perish

13 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate(A) had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?(B) I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam(C) fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent,(D) you too will all perish.”

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.(E) So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down!(F) Why should it use up the soil?’

“‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath

10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,(G) 11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.(H) She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 13 Then he put his hands on her,(I) and immediately she straightened up and praised God.

14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath,(J) the synagogue leader(K) said to the people, “There are six days for work.(L) So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

15 The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?(M) 16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham,(N) whom Satan(O) has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”

17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated,(P) but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast(Q)(R)

18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God(S) like?(T) What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree,(U) and the birds perched in its branches.”(V)

20 Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”(W)

The Narrow Door

22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.(X) 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”

He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door,(Y) because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’(Z)

26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’(AA)

28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth,(AB) when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west(AC) and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”(AD)

Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem(AE)(AF)

31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod(AG) wants to kill you.”

32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’(AH) 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet(AI) can die outside Jerusalem!

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(AJ) and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(AK) I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[b](AL)
