He also states the Pharisees tried to silence His followers praise of Him during his entry into Jerusalem and, like Matthew, Luke ...
The New King James Version organises it as follows (with cross references to other parts of the Bible): Luke 13:1–5 = Repent or Perish; Luke 13:6–9 = The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree (Jeremiah 8:13) Luke 13:10–17 = A Spirit of Infirmity; Luke 13:18–19 = The Parable of the Mustard Seed (Matthew 13:31–32; Mark 4:30–32)
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me?
