Luke 9:51;13:21
51 As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 
52 He sent messengers ahead to a Samaritan village to prepare for his arrival. 
53 But the people of the village did not welcome Jesus because he was on his way to Jerusalem. 
54 When James and John saw this, they said to Jesus, “Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to burn them up ?” 
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 
56 So they went on to another village. 
57 As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 
58But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.” 
59 He said to another person, “Come, follow me.” The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.” 
60 But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.” 
61 Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.” 
62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”



Luke 10 NLT
1 The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit. 
2 These were his instructions to them: “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. 
3 Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves. 
4 Don’t take any money with you, nor a traveler’s bag, nor an extra pair of sandals. And don’t stop to greet anyone on the road. 
5“Whenever you enter someone’s home, first say, ‘May God’s peace be on this house.’ 
6 If those who live there are peaceful, the blessing will stand; if they are not, the blessing will return to you. 
7 Don’t move around from home to home. Stay in one place, eating and drinking what they provide. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve their pay. 
8 “If you enter a town and it welcomes you, eat whatever is set before you. 
9 Heal the sick, and tell them, ‘The Kingdom of God is near you now.’ 
10 But if a town refuses to welcome you, go out into its streets and say, 
11 ‘We wipe even the dust of your town from our feet to show that we have abandoned you to your fate. And know this—the Kingdom of God is near!’ 
12 I assure you, even wicked Sodom will be better off than such a town on judgment day. 
13 “What sorrow awaits you, Korazin and Bethsaida! For if the miracles I did in you had been done in wicked Tyre and Sidon, their people would have repented of their sins long ago, clothing themselves in burlap and throwing ashes on their heads to show their remorse. 
14 Yes, Tyre and Sidon will be better off on judgment day than you. 
15 And you people of Capernaum, will you be honored in heaven? No, you will go down to the place of the dead. ” 
16 Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me.” 
17 When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” 
18 “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! 
19 Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 
20 But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven.” 
21 At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and he said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way. 
22 “My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” 
23 Then when they were alone, he turned to the disciples and said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you have seen. 
24 I tell you, many prophets and kings longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.” 
25 One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” 
26 Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” 
27 The man answered, “‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” 
28“Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!” 
29 The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 
30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road. 
31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 
32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side. 
33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 
34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 
35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’
36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked. 
37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.” Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.” 
38 As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
39 Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. 
40 But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” 
41 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!
42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”




Luke 11 NLT
1 Once Jesus was in a certain place praying. As he finished, one of his disciples came to him and said, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” 
2 Jesus said, “This is how you should pray: “Father, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. 
3 Give us each day the food we need, 
4 and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation. ” 
5 Then, teaching them more about prayer, he used this story: “Suppose you went to a friend’s house at midnight, wanting to borrow three loaves of bread. You say to him, 
6 ‘A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit, and I have nothing for him to eat.’ 
7 And suppose he calls out from his bedroom, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is locked for the night, and my family and I are all in bed. I can’t help you.’ 
8 But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence. 
9 “And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 
10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. 
11 “You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? 
12 Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! 
13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” 
14 One day Jesus cast out a demon from a man who couldn’t speak, and when the demon was gone, the man began to speak. The crowds were amazed, 
15 but some of them said, “No wonder he can cast out demons. He gets his power from Satan, the prince of demons.” 
16Others, trying to test Jesus, demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. 
17 He knew their thoughts, so he said, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A family splintered by feuding will fall apart. 
18 You say I am empowered by Satan. But if Satan is divided and fighting against himself, how can his kingdom survive? 
19 And if I am empowered by Satan, what about your own exorcists? They cast out demons, too, so they will condemn you for what you have said. 
20 But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you. 
21 For when a strong man like Satan is fully armed and guards his palace, his possessions are safe— 
22 until someone even stronger attacks and overpowers him, strips him of his weapons, and carries off his belongings. 
23 “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me. 
24 “When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, searching for rest. But when it finds none, it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ 
25 So it returns and finds that its former home is all swept and in order. 
26 Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before.” 
27 As he was speaking, a woman in the crowd called out, “God bless your mother—the womb from which you came, and the breasts that nursed you!” 
28 Jesus replied, “But even more blessed are all who hear the word of God and put it into practice.”
29 As the crowd pressed in on Jesus, he said, “This evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign. But the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah. 
30 What happened to him was a sign to the people of Nineveh that God had sent him. What happens to the Son of Man will be a sign to these people that he was sent by God. 
31 “The queen of Sheba will stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Now someone greater than Solomon is here—but you refuse to listen. 
32 The people of Nineveh will also stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for they repented of their sins at the preaching of Jonah. Now someone greater than Jonah is here—but you refuse to repent. 
33 “No one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. 
34“Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is bad, your body is filled with darkness. 
35 Make sure that the light you think you have is not actually darkness. 
36 If you are filled with light, with no dark corners, then your whole life will be radiant, as though a floodlight were filling you with light.” 
37 As Jesus was speaking, one of the Pharisees invited him home for a meal. So he went in and took his place at the table. 
38 His host was amazed to see that he sat down to eat without first performing the hand-washing ceremony required by Jewish custom. 
39 Then the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and wickedness! 
40 Fools! Didn’t God make the inside as well as the outside? 
41 So clean the inside by giving gifts to the poor, and you will be clean all over. 
42 “What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore justice and the love of God. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. 
43 “What sorrow awaits you Pharisees! For you love to sit in the seats of honor in the synagogues and receive respectful greetings as you walk in the marketplaces. 
44 Yes, what sorrow awaits you! For you are like hidden graves in a field. People walk over them without knowing the corruption they are stepping on.” 
45 “Teacher,” said an expert in religious law, “you have insulted us, too, in what you just said.” 
46 “Yes,” said Jesus, “what sorrow also awaits you experts in religious law! For you crush people with unbearable religious demands, and you never lift a finger to ease the burden. 
47 What sorrow awaits you! For you build monuments for the prophets your own ancestors killed long ago. 
48 But in fact, you stand as witnesses who agree with what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you join in their crime by building the monuments! 
49 This is what God in his wisdom said about you: ‘I will send prophets and apostles to them, but they will kill some and persecute the others.’ 
50 “As a result, this generation will be held responsible for the murder of all God’s prophets from the creation of the world— 
51 from the murder of Abel to the murder of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, it will certainly be charged against this generation. 
52 “What sorrow awaits you experts in religious law! For you remove the key to knowledge from the people. You don’t enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from entering.”
53 As Jesus was leaving, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees became hostile and tried to provoke him with many questions. 
54 They wanted to trap him into saying something they could use against him.
Luke 12 NLT
1 Meanwhile, the crowds grew until thousands were milling about and stepping on each other. Jesus turned first to his disciples and warned them, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees—their hypocrisy. 
2 The time is coming when everything that is covered up will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. 
3 Whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops for all to hear! 
4 “Dear friends, don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. 
5 But I’ll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell. Yes, he’s the one to fear. 
6 “What is the price of five sparrows—two copper coins ? Yet God does not forget a single one of them.
7 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. 
8 “I tell you the truth, everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, the Son of Man will also acknowledge in the presence of God’s angels. 
9 But anyone who denies me here on earth will be denied before God’s angels. 
10 Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 
11 “And when you are brought to trial in the synagogues and before rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how to defend yourself or what to say, 
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what needs to be said.” 
13 Then someone called from the crowd, “Teacher, please tell my brother to divide our father’s estate with me.” 
14Jesus replied, “Friend, who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that?” 
15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.” 
16 Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. 
17 He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ 
18 Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. 
19 And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’ 
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’ 
21 “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.” 
22 Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. 
23 For life is more than food, and your body more than clothing. 
24 Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! 
25 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 
26 And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things? 
27 “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 
28 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 
29 “And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. 
30 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs. 
31 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need. 
32 “So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. 
33 “Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store up treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; no thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it. 
34 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. 
35 “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning, 
36 as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks. 
37 The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat!
38 He may come in the middle of the night or just before dawn. But whenever he comes, he will reward the servants who are ready. 
39 “Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into. 
40 You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected.” 
41 Peter asked, “Lord, is that illustration just for us or for everyone?” 
42 And the Lord replied, “A faithful, sensible servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility of managing his other household servants and feeding them. 
43 If the master returns and finds that the servant has done a good job, there will be a reward.
44 I tell you the truth, the master will put that servant in charge of all he owns. 
45 But what if the servant thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’ and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk?
46 The master will return unannounced and unexpected, and he will cut the servant in pieces and banish him with the unfaithful. 
47 “And a servant who knows what the master wants, but isn’t prepared and doesn’t carry out those instructions, will be severely punished. 
48 But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required. 
49 “I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning! 
50 I have a terrible baptism of suffering ahead of me, and I am under a heavy burden until it is accomplished. 
51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other! 
52 From now on families will be split apart, three in favor of me, and two against—or two in favor and three against. 
53 ‘Father will be divided against son and son against father; mother against daughter and daughter against mother; and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.’ ” 
54Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “When you see clouds beginning to form in the west, you say, ‘Here comes a shower.’ And you are right. 
55When the south wind blows, you say, ‘Today will be a scorcher.’ And it is. 
56You fools! You know how to interpret the weather signs of the earth and sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the present times. 
57 “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? 
58 When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. 
59 And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny. ”



Luke 13 NLT
1 About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. 
2 “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered? 
3 Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. 
4 And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 
5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.” 
6 Then Jesus told this story: “A man planted a fig tree in his garden and came again and again to see if there was any fruit on it, but he was always disappointed. 
7 Finally, he said to his gardener, ‘I’ve waited three years, and there hasn’t been a single fig! Cut it down. It’s just taking up space in the garden.’ 
8 “The gardener answered, ‘Sir, give it one more chance. Leave it another year, and I’ll give it special attention and plenty of fertilizer. 
9 If we get figs next year, fine. If not, then you can cut it down.’”
10 One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, 
11 he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. 
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!”
13 Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God! 
14 But the leader in charge of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath day. “There are six days of the week for working,” he said to the crowd. “Come on those days to be healed, not on the Sabbath.” 
15 But the Lord replied, “You hypocrites! Each of you works on the Sabbath day! Don’t you untie your ox or your donkey from its stall on the Sabbath and lead it out for water? 
16 This dear woman, a daughter of Abraham, has been held in bondage by Satan for eighteen years. Isn’t it right that she be released, even on the Sabbath?” 
17 This shamed his enemies, but all the people rejoiced at the wonderful things he did. 
18 Then Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? How can I illustrate it? 
19 It is like a tiny mustard seed that a man planted in a garden; it grows and becomes a tree, and the birds make nests in its branches.” 
20 He also asked, “What else is the Kingdom of God like? 

21 It is like the yeast a woman used in making bread. Even though she put only a little yeast in three measures of flour, it permeated every part of the dough.”
