52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Luke 13

1

Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [that of] their sacrifices.

2

And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

3

No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.

4

Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that *they* were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

5

No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.

6

And he spoke this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit upon it and did not find [any].

7

And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?

8

But he answering says to him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it and put dung,

9

and if it shall bear fruit -- but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.

10

And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11

And lo, [there was] a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.

12

And Jesus, seeing her, called to [her], and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13

And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14

But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus healed on the sabbath, answering said to the crowd, There are six days in which [people] ought to work; in these therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

15

The Lord therefore answered him and said, Hypocrites! does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger and leading [it] away, water [it]?

16

And this [woman], who is a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, [these] eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

17

And as he said these things, all who were opposed to him were ashamed; and all the crowd rejoiced at all the glorious things which were being done by him.

18

And he said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it?

19

It is like a grain of mustard [seed] which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and became a great tree, and the birds of heaven lodged in its branches.

20

And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?

21

It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until the whole was leavened.

22

And he went through one city and village after another, teaching, and journeying to Jerusalem.

23

And one said to him, Sir, [are] such as are to be saved few in number? But he said unto them,

24

Strive with earnestness to enter in through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.

25

From the time that the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, and ye shall begin to stand without and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he answering shall say to you, I know you not whence ye are:

26

then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten in thy presence and drunk, and thou hast taught in our streets;

27

and he shall say, I tell you, I do not know you whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity.

28

There shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves cast out.

29

And they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall lie down at table in the kingdom of God.

30

And behold, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.

31

The same hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him, Get out, and go hence, for Herod is desirous to kill thee.

32

And he said to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third [day] I am perfected;

33

but I must needs walk to-day and to-morrow and the [day] following, for it must not be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

34

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the [city] that kills the prophets and stones those that are sent unto her, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

35

Behold, your house is left unto you; and I say unto you, that ye shall not see me until it come that ye say, Blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord.

Luke 14

1

And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the rulers, [who was] of the Pharisees, to eat bread on [the] sabbath, that *they* were watching him.

2

And behold, there was a certain dropsical [man] before him.

3

And Jesus answering spoke unto the doctors of the law and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?

4

But they were silent. And taking him he healed him and let him go.

5

And answering he said to them, Of which of you shall an ass or ox fall into a well, that he does not straightway pull him up on the sabbath day?

6

And they were not able to answer him to these things.

7

And he spoke a parable to those that were invited, remarking how they chose out the first places, saying to them,

8

When thou art invited by any one to a wedding, do not lay thyself down in the first place at table, lest perhaps a more honourable than thou be invited by him,

9

and he who invited thee and him come and say to thee, Give place to this [man], and then thou begin with shame to take the last place.

10

But when thou hast been invited, go and put thyself down in the last place, that when he who has invited thee comes, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have honour before all that are lying at table with thee;

11

for every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that abases himself shall be exalted.

12

And he said also to him that had invited him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kinsfolk, nor rich neighbours, lest it may be they also should invite thee in return, and a recompense be made thee.

13

But when thou makest a feast, call poor, crippled, lame, blind:

14

and thou shalt be blessed; for they have not [the means] to recompense thee; for it shall be recompensed thee in the resurrection of the just.

15

And one of those that were lying at table with [them], hearing these things, said to him, Blessed [is] he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

16

And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and invited many.

17

And he sent his bondman at the hour of supper to say to those who were invited, Come, for already all things are ready.

18

And all began, without exception, to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I have bought land, and I must go out and see it; I pray thee hold me for excused.

19

And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee hold me for excused.

20

And another said, I have married a wife, and on this account I cannot come.

21

And the bondman came up and brought back word of these things to his lord. Then the master of the house, in anger, said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and crippled and lame and blind.

22

And the bondman said, Sir, it is done as thou hast commanded, and there is still room.

23

And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the ways and fences and compel to come in, that my house may be filled;

24

for I say to you, that not one of those men who were invited shall taste of my supper.

25

And great crowds went with him; and, turning round, he said to them,

26

If any man come to me, and shall not hate his own father and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yea, and his own life too, he cannot be my disciple;

27

and whoever does not carry his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.

28

For which of you, desirous of building a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, if he have what [is needed] to complete it;

29

in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

30

saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish?

31

Or what king, going on his way to engage in war with another king, does not, sitting down first, take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him coming against him with twenty thousand?

32

and if not, while he is yet far off, having sent an embassy, he asks for terms of peace.

33

Thus then every one of you who forsakes not all that is his own cannot be my disciple.

34

Salt [then] [is] good, but if the salt also has become savourless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

35

It is proper neither for land nor for dung; it is cast out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
