Luke 13

Call to Repent

1NowG1161 on the sameG846 occasionG2540 there were someG5100 presentG3918 who reportedG518 to Him aboutG4012 the GalileansG1057 whoseG3739 bloodG129 1PilateG4091 had 2mixedG3396 with their sacrificesG2378. 2And Jesus saidG3004 to them, “3Do you supposeG1380 that theseG3778 GalileansG1057 were greater sinnersG268 thanG3844 allG3956 other GalileansG1057 becauseG3754 they sufferedG3958 thisG3778 fate? 3I tellG3004 you, noG3780, but unlessG1437G3361 you 4repentG3340, you will allG3956 likewiseG3668 perishG622. 4OrG2228 do you supposeG1380 that thoseG1565 eighteenG1178 on whomG3739 the towerG4444 in 5SiloamG4611 fellG4098 and killedG615 them were worse 67culpritsG3781 thanG3844 allG3956 the menG444 who liveG2730 in JerusalemG2419? 5I tellG3004 you, noG3780, but unlessG1437G3361 you repentG3340, you will allG3956 likewiseG5615 perishG622.”

6And He began tellingG3004 thisG3778 parableG3850: “A manG5100 hadG2192 8a figG4808 treeG4808 which had been plantedG5452 in his vineyardG290; and he cameG2064 lookingG2212 for fruitG2590 on it and did not findG2147 any. 7And he saidG3004 to the vineyard-keeperG289, ‘BeholdG2400, for threeG5140 yearsG2094 I have comeG2064 lookingG2212 for fruitG2590 on thisG3778 figG4808 treeG4808 9withoutG2532G3756 findingG2147 any. 10CutG1581 it downG1581! WhyG2444 does it evenG2532 useG2673 up the groundG1093?’ 8And he answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, ‘LetG863 it aloneG863, sirG2962, for thisG3778 yearG2094 tooG2532, untilG2193 I digG4626 aroundG4012 it and putG906 in fertilizerG2874; 9and ifG2579 it bearsG4160 fruitG2590 nextG1519G3195 year, fine; but ifG1487 not, cutG1581 it downG1581.’”

Healing on the Sabbath

10And He was 11teachingG1321 in oneG1520 of the synagoguesG4864 on the SabbathG4521. 11And there was a womanG1135 who for eighteenG1178 yearsG2094 had hadG2192 12a sicknessG769 caused by a spiritG4151; and she was bentG4794 doubleG4794, and couldG1410 not straightenG352 up at allG3838. 12When JesusG2424 sawG3708 her, He calledG4377 her overG4377 and saidG3004 to her, “WomanG1135, you are freedG630 from your sicknessG769.” 13And He 13laidG2007 His handsG5495 on her; and immediatelyG3916 she was madeG461 erectG461 againG461 and began 14glorifyingG1392 GodG2316. 14But 15the synagogueG752 officialG752, indignantG23 becauseG3754 JesusG2424 16had healedG2323 on the SabbathG4521, began sayingG3004 to the crowdG3793 in responseG611, “17There are sixG1803 daysG2250 in whichG3739 workG2038 shouldG1163 be doneG2038; soG3767 comeG2064 duringG1722 them and getG2323 healedG2323, and not on the SabbathG4521 dayG2250.” 15But 18the LordG2962 answeredG611 him and saidG3004, “You hypocritesG5273, 19does not eachG1538 of you on the SabbathG4521 untieG3089 his oxG1016 orG2228 his donkeyG3688 from the stallG5336 and leadG520 him awayG520 to waterG4222 him? 16And thisG3778 womanG3778, 20a daughterG2364 of AbrahamG11 as she is, whomG3739 21SatanG4567 has boundG1210 for eighteenG1176G3638 longG2400 yearsG2094, shouldG1163 she not have been releasedG3089 from thisG3778 bondG1199 on the SabbathG4521 dayG2250?” 17As He saidG3004 thisG3778, allG3956 His opponentsG480 were being humiliatedG2617; and 22the entireG3956 crowdG3793 was rejoicingG5463 overG1909 allG3956 the gloriousG1741 thingsG1741 beingG1096 doneG1096 by Him.

Parables of Mustard Seed and Leaven

18SoG3767 23He was sayingG3004, “24WhatG5101 is the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 likeG3664, and to whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 it? 19It is likeG3664 a mustardG4615 seedG2848, whichG3739 a manG444 tookG2983 and threwG906 into his ownG1438 gardenG2779; and it grewG837 and becameG1096 a treeG1186, and 25the birdsG4071 of the 26airG3772 nestedG2681 in its branchesG2798.”

20And againG3825 He saidG3004, “27To whatG5101 shall I compareG3666 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316? 2128It is likeG3664 leavenG2219, whichG3739 a womanG1135 tookG2983 and hidG2928 in 29threeG5140 30pecksG4568 of flourG224 untilG2193 it was allG3650 leavenedG2220.”

Teaching in the Villages

22And He was passingG1279 throughG1279 from one cityG4172 and villageG2968 to anotherG2596, teachingG1321, and 31proceedingG4160 on His wayG4197 to JerusalemG2414. 23And someoneG5100 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, are there just a fewG3641 who are being savedG4982?” And He saidG3004 to them, 24“32StriveG75 to enterG1525 throughG1223 the narrowG4728 doorG2374; for manyG4183, I tellG3004 you, will seekG2212 to enterG1525 and will not be ableG2480. 25OnceG575G3739 the headG3617 of the houseG3617 getsG1453 up and 33shutsG608 the doorG2374, and you beginG757 to standG2476 outsideG1854 and knockG2925 on the doorG2374, sayingG3004, ‘34LordG2962, openG455 up to us!’ thenG2532 He will answerG611 and sayG3004 to you, ‘35I do not knowG3609 whereG4159 you are from.’ 26ThenG5119 you will 36beginG757 to sayG3004, ‘We ateG2068 and drankG4095 in Your presenceG1799, and You taughtG1321 in our streetsG4116’; 27and He will sayG3004, ‘I tellG3004 you, 37I do not knowG3609 whereG4159 you are from; 38departG868 from Me, allG3956 you evildoersG93.’ 2839In that placeG1563 thereG1510 will be weepingG2805 and gnashingG1030 of teethG3599 whenG3752 you seeG3708 AbrahamG11 and IsaacG2464 and JacobG2384 and allG3956 the prophetsG4396 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316, but yourselvesG4771 being thrownG1544 out. 29And they 40will comeG2240 from eastG395 and westG1424 and from northG1005 and southG3558, and will reclineG347 at the table in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316. 30And beholdG2400, 41some are lastG2078 whoG3739 will be firstG4413 and some are firstG4413 whoG3739 will be lastG2078.”

31JustG846 at that timeG5610 someG5100 PhariseesG5330 approachedG4334, sayingG3004 to Him, “GoG1831 awayG1831, leaveG4198 hereG1782, for 42HerodG2264 wantsG2309 to killG615 You.” 32And He saidG3004 to them, “GoG4198 and tellG3004 that foxG258, ‘BeholdG2400, I castG1544 out demonsG1140 and performG658 curesG2392 todayG4594 and tomorrowG839, and the thirdG5154 day I 4344reachG5048 My goalG5048.’ 33NeverthelessG4133 45I mustG1163 journeyG4198 on todayG4594 and tomorrowG839 and the nextG2192 day; for it cannotG1735G3756 be that a 46prophetG4396 would perishG622 outsideG1854 of JerusalemG2419. 3447O JerusalemG2419, JerusalemG2419, the city that killsG615 the prophetsG4396 and stonesG3036 thoseG3588 sentG649 to her! HowG4212 oftenG4212 I wantedG2309 to gatherG1996 your childrenG5043 togetherG1996, 48justG3739G5158 as a henG3733 gathers her broodG3555 underG5259 her wingsG4420, and you wouldG2309 not have it! 35BeholdG2400, your houseG3624 is leftG863 to you desolate; and I sayG3004 to you, you will not seeG3708 Me untilG2193 the time comesG2240 whenG3753 you sayG3004, ‘49BlessedG2127 is He who comesG2064 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962!’”
