2Yeshua Salvation answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3I tell you, no, but unless you make teshuvah ·complete repentance·, you will all perish in the same way.
4Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem City of peace?
5I tell you, no, but, unless you teshuvah ·turn repent·, you will all perish in the same way.”
6He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?’
8He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath ·To cease· day.
11Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
12When Yeshua Salvation saw her, he called her, and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
13He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.
14The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Yeshua Salvation had healed on the Sabbath ·To cease·, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath ·To cease· day!”
15Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath ·To cease·, and lead him away to water?
16Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham Father of a multitude, whom Satan Adversary had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath ·To cease· day?”
17As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
