13 At that time some people who wor there tell him about the people from Gal·i·lee who Pilate kill when they wor making their sacrifice dem.
2 Then he tell them say: “Yor think the people from Gal·i·lee who die use to sin more than all the other people from Gal·i·lee because bad thing happen to them?
3 No, let me tell yor, if yor not repent, all of yor will be destroy the same way.
4 Or yor think say the 18 people who the tall building fall down on in Si·lo′am, and kill them, sin pass all the other people that living in Jerusalem?
5 No, let me tell yor, if yor not repent, all of yor will be destroy just like them.”
6 Then he give them this example: “One man plant fig tree in his grape garden, and he came to look for fruit on it but he not find anything.
7 Then he tell the person who can work in his grape garden say, ‘Three years na pass since I been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree, but I can’t find anything. Cut it down! Why it must continue to grow when it can’t bear fruit?’
8 He tell him say, ‘Master, let leave it for one more year so I can dig and put fertilizer around it.
9 If it bear fruit in the future, then it alright, but if it not bear fruit, then we can cut it down.’”
10 So on the Sabbath day he wor teaching in one of the synagogues.
11 One woman wor there who one demon made sick for 18 years. The woman wor bend bad way and she wor not able to stand up straight again.
12 When Jesus saw her, he tell her say: “Woman, I na heal you from your sickness.”
13 And he put his hand on her, and right away she stand up straight and started praising God.
14 But the leader for the synagogue got vex bad way because Jesus heal her on the Sabbath day, so he tell the people dem say: “We get six days to do our work, so yor must come on any of this day dem for him to heal yor. But yor must not come on the Sabbath day.”
15 But the Lord tell him say: “Hypocrites,* yor can’t loosen yor cow or donkey on the Sabbath day for it to drink?
16 This woman from Abraham family line and Satan na make her sick for 18 years. So yor not think she suppose to be heal from her sickness on the Sabbath day?”
17 When he say this thing dem, all the people who wor against him wor shame. But all the other people wor really happy for all the wonderful thing dem he na do.
18 So he tell them say: “Wetin God Kingdom looking like, and wetin I will use to compare it to?
19 It looking like small seed* that one man plant in his garden, and it grow and turn to big tree, and the bird dem come live inside it.”
20 And he say again: “Wetin I can compare God Kingdom with?
21 It looking like yeast that one woman mix with three buckets* of flour until everything rise.”
22 When Jesus wor going to Jerusalem, he pass through different-different cities and village dem teaching people.
23 Then one man ask him: “Lord, the people dem who will be save, they not plenty?” He tell them say:
24 “Yor must really fight hard to pass through the small door, because I tell yor that, plenty people will want enter but they will not be able.
25 When the house owner get up and lock the door, yor will stand outside and be knocking the door, and say, ‘Lord, open the door for us.’ But he will tell yor say: ‘I not know where yor coming from.’
26 Then yor will start saying, ‘We use to eat and drink in front of you, and you use to teach in our city dem.’
27 But he will tell yor say, ‘I not know where yor coming from. Yor move from here, because that so-so bad-bad thing dem yor can do!’
28 Yor will see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophet dem in God Kingdom, but yor will be outside. That the place yor will be crying and grinding yor teeth.
29 Also, people will come from all over the world,* and they will sit down to the table in God Kingdom.
30 And some of the people who last will be first, and some of the people who first will be last.”
31 At that time, some of the Pharisee dem came to him and tell him say: “Leave from here because Herod want kill you.”
32 And he tell them say: “That man who tricky like fox,* yor go tell him that ‘I moving demons from in people and healing them today and tomorrow, and I will finish on the third day.’
33 But no matter what happen, I will continue doing my work today, tomorrow, and day after tomorrow. And I will continue traveling because it not possible for them to kill any prophet to different place, but only in Jerusalem.
34 Yor who in Jerusalem, yor can kill the prophet dem and use rock to chunk the people dem who they send to yor. I try plenty time to bring your children together the same way the hen can bring her baby dem under her wings! But yor never wanted it.
35 But now, God na leave this temple* with yor. I tell yor say, yor will never see me again from now until yor say: ‘Let the person who come in Jehovah* name be bless!’”
