Look through Jerusalem, behold and see. Seek through her streets also within, if ye can find one man, that doth equal and right, or that laboureth to be faithful: and I shall spare him, sayeth the LORD. For though they can say, "The LORD liveth," yet do they swear to deceive. Where as thou, O LORD, lookest only upon faith and truth. Thou hast scourged them, but they took no repentance: thou hast corrected them for amendment, but they refused thy correction. They made their faces harder than stone, and would not amend. read more.
Therefore thought I in myself, "Peradventure they are so simple and foolish, that they understand nothing of the LORD's way, and judgments of our God.

But these, in like manner, have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds in sunder.

And he taught in one of their synagogues on the Sabbath days. And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years: and was bowed together, and could not lift up herself at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said to her, "Woman, thou art delivered from thy disease." read more.
And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, "There are six days in the week, in which men ought to work, in them come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day." Then answered him the Lord and said, "Hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the Sabbath day, loose his ox, or his ass, from the stall, and lead him to the water? And ought not this daughter of Abraham, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day, whom Satan hath bound lo, eighteen years?" And when he thus said, all his adversaries were ashamed; and all the people rejoiced on all the excellent deeds that were done by him. Then said he, "What is the kingdom of God like? Or whereto shall I compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his garden: and it grew, and waxed a great tree, and the fowls of the air made nests in the branches of it." And again he said, "Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three bushels of flour, till all was through-leavened." And he went through all manner of cities and towns, teaching, and journeying towards Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, "Lord, are there few that shall be saved?" And he said unto them, "Strive with yourselves to enter in at the strait gate: For many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When the good man of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, ye shall begin to stand without, and to knock at the door saying, 'Lord, Lord, open unto us.' And he shall answer and say unto you, 'I know you not whence ye are.' Then shall ye begin to say, 'We have eaten, and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.' And he shall say, 'I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me all ye workers of iniquity.' There shall be weeping, and gnashing of teeth: when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out a doors. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And behold, there are last, which shall be first: And there are first which shall be last." The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, and said unto him, "Get thee out of the way, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee." And he said unto them, "Go ye and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and heal the people today and tomorrow, and the third day I make an end. Nevertheless, I must walk today and tomorrow, and the day following: For it cannot be, that a prophet perish any other where, save at Jerusalem.
