Luke 13
1 And there were present, at that very time, some who were reporting about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And responding, he said to them: “Do you think that these Galileans must have sinned more than all other Galileans, because they suffered so much?
And, answering, he said unto them—Suppose ye, that, these Galilaeans, had become, sinners beyond all the Galilaeans, because, these things, they have suffered?
3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly.
Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in like manner, shall perish.
4 And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem?
Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?
5 No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.”
Nay! I tell you, but, except ye repent, ye, all, in the same way, shall perish.
6 And he also told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.
And he went on to speak this parable: —A certain man had, a fig-tree, planted in his vineyard, and he canto seeking fruit therein, and found none.
7 Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: ‘Behold, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Therefore, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?’
And he said unto the vine-dresser—Lo! three years, I come, seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down! Why doth it make, even the round useless?
8 But in response, he said to him: ‘Lord, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer.
And, he, answering, saith unto him—Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, —
9 And, indeed, it should bear fruit. But if not, in the future, you shall cut it down.’”
and if it may bear fruit for the future; …but, otherwise, certainly, thou shalt cut it down.
10 Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbaths.
And he was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the Sabbath.
11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all.
And lo! a woman, having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, —and was bowed together, and unable to lift herself up, at all.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.”
And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her—Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, —
13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, and she glorified God.
and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.
14 Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude—Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.
15 Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water?
The Lord answered him, and said—Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?
16 So then, should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for lo these eighteen years, be released from this restraint on the day of the Sabbath?”
But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?
17 And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced in everything that was being done gloriously by him.
And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.
18 And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it?
He went on to say, therefore—Whereunto, is the kingdom of God, like? And, whereunto, shall I liken it?
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches.”
It is, like, unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden; and it grew, and became a tree, and, the birds of heaven, lodged amongst its branches.
20 And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God?
And, again, he said—Whereunto, shall I liken the kingdom of God?
21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”
It is, like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until, the whole, was leavened.
22 And he was traveling through the cities and towns, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
And he was journeying on, city by city and village by village, and making, progress, unto Jerusalem.
23 And someone said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” But he said to them:
And one said unto him—Lord! are they, few, who are being saved? And, he, said unto them—
24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and not be able.
Be striving to enter through the narrow door; for, many, I say unto you, will seek to enter, and will not be able, —
25 Then, when the father of the family will have entered and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ And in response, he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
when once the householder shall rouse himself, and lock the door, and ye begin to stand, outside, and to knock at the door, saying—Lord! open to us; and he shall answer and say unto you—I know you not, whence ye are.
26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
Then, will ye begin to say—We did eat and drink in thy presence, and, in our broadways, thou didst, teach;
27 And he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’
And he will speak, saying unto you—I know not whence ye are; Depart from me, all workers of unrighteous—
28 In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, yet you yourselves are expelled outside.
There, will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as soon as ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and, yourselves, being thrust forth outside.
29 And they will arrive from the East, and the West, and the North, and the South; and they will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
And they shall have come from east and west, and from north and south, and be made recline in the kingdom of God.
30 And behold, those who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.”
And lo! there are, last, who shall be, first, and there are, first, who shall be, last;
31 On the same day, some of the Pharisees approached, saying to him: “Depart, and go away from here. For Herod wishes to kill you.”
In that very hour, came near certain Pharisees, saying unto him, Go forth, and be journeying hence, because, Herod, desireth to slay thee.
32 And he said to them: “Go and tell that fox: ‘Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish healings, today and tomorrow. And on the third day I reach the end.’
And he said unto them—Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, to-day, and to-morrow, —
33 Yet truly, it is necessary for me to walk today and tomorrow and the following day. For it does not fall to a prophet to perish beyond Jerusalem.
and, on the third, I am to be made perfect. Nevertheless, I must needs, to-day, and tomorrow, and the following, be journeying on, because it is impossible that a prophet perish, outside Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets, and you stone those who are sent to you. Daily, I wanted to gather together your children, in the manner of a bird with her nest under her wings, but you were not willing!
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, —and ye did not desire!
35 Behold, your house will be left desolate for you. But I say to you, that you shall not see me, until it happens that you say: ‘Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord.’”
Lo! your house is left to you. [And] I say unto you—In nowise shall ye see me, until ye say, —Blessed, is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!
