Luke 13:22-14:6 22 Then
Jesus
traveled throughout
towns
and villages, teaching and making his way toward
Jerusalem.
23 Someone
asked
him, “Lord, will only a few
be saved?” So
he said to them,
24 “Exert every effort
to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.
25 Once
the head of the house
gets up
and shuts the door, then you will stand outside and start to knock on the door and beg him, ‘Lord,
let us in!’
But he will answer you,
‘I don’t know where you come from.’
26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 But
he will reply,
‘I don’t know where you come from!
Go away from me, all you evildoers!’
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,
and all the prophets in the kingdom of God
but you yourselves thrown out.
29 Then
people
will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table
in the kingdom of God.
30 But
indeed,
some are last
who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
31 At that time,
some Pharisees
came up and said to Jesus,
“Get away from here,
because Herod
wants to kill you.”
32 But
he said to them, “Go
and tell that fox,
‘Look, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day
I will complete my work.
33 Nevertheless I must
go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, because it is impossible
that a prophet should be killed
outside Jerusalem.’
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you!
How often I have longed
to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but
you would have none of it!
35 Look, your house is forsaken!
And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
1 Now
one Sabbath when Jesus went to dine
at the house of a leader
of the Pharisees,
they were watching
him closely.
2 There
right
in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy.
3 So
Jesus asked
the experts in religious law
and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath
or not?”
4 But they remained silent. So
Jesus
took hold of the man,
healed him, and sent him away.
5 Then
he said to them, “Which of you, if you have a son
or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?”
6 But
they could not reply
to this.
Context (NET) Psalm 79:1-13 1 A psalm of Asaph. O God, foreigners
have invaded your chosen land;
they have polluted your holy temple and turned Jerusalem
into a heap of ruins.
2 They have given the corpses of your servants to the birds of the sky;
the flesh of your loyal followers to the beasts of the earth.
3 They have made their blood flow like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.
4 We have become an object of disdain to our neighbors; those who live on our borders taunt and insult us.
5 How long will this go on, O
Lord?
Will you stay angry forever? How long will your rage
burn like fire?
6 Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you,
on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!
7 For they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his home.
8 Do not hold us accountable for the sins of earlier generations!
Quickly send your compassion our way,
for we are in serious trouble!
9 Help us, O God, our deliverer! For the sake of your glorious reputation,
rescue us! Forgive our sins for the sake of your reputation!
10 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Before our very eyes may the shed blood of your servants be avenged among the nations!
11 Listen to the painful cries of the prisoners!
Use your great strength to set free those condemned to die!
12 Pay back our neighbors in full!
May they be insulted the same way they insulted you, O Lord!
13 Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture, will continually thank you.
We will tell coming generations of your praiseworthy acts.
