Luke 13
1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
Παρῆσαν δέ τινες ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ καιρῷ, ἀπαγγέλλοντες αὐτῷ περὶ τῶν Γαλιλαίων, ὧν τὸ αἷμα Πιλᾶτος ἔμιξεν μετὰ τῶν θυσιῶν αὐτῶν.
2 Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Δοκεῖτε ὅτι οἱ Γαλιλαῖοι οὗτοι, ἁμαρτωλοὶ παρὰ πάντας τοὺς Γαλιλαίους ἐγένοντο, ὅτι τοιαῦτα πεπόνθασιν;
3 I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
Οὐχί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀλλʼ ἐὰν μὴ μετανοῆτε, πάντες ὁμοίως ἀπολεῖσθε.
4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
Ἢ ἐκεῖνοι οἱ δεκαοκτὼ ἐφʼ οὓς ἔπεσεν ὁ πύργος ἐν τῷ Σιλωὰμ καὶ ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτούς, δοκεῖτε ὅτι αὐτοὶ ὀφειλέται ἐγένοντο παρὰ πάντας τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ἰερουσαλήμ;
5 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
Οὐχί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀλλʼ ἐὰν μὴ μετανοῆτε, πάντες ὁμοίως ἀπολεῖσθε.”
6 He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
Ἔλεγεν δὲ ταύτην τὴν παραβολήν: “Συκῆν εἶχέν τις πεφυτευμένην ἐν τῷ ἀμπελῶνι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν ζητῶν καρπὸν ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ οὐχ εὗρεν.
7 He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’
Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τὸν ἀμπελουργόν, ‘Ἰδοὺ, τρία ἔτη ἀφʼ οὗ ἔρχομαι ζητῶν καρπὸν ἐν τῇ συκῇ ταύτῃ, καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκω. Ἔκκοψον αὐτήν, ἵνα τί καὶ τὴν γῆν καταργεῖ;’
8 He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς λέγει αὐτῷ, ‘Κύριε, ἄφες αὐτὴν καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἔτος, ἕως ὅτου σκάψω περὶ αὐτὴν καὶ βάλω κόπρια·
9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
κἂν μὲν ποιήσῃ καρπὸν εἰς τὸ μέλλον, εἰ δὲ μή γε ἐκκόψεις αὐτήν.’”
10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
Ἦν δὲ διδάσκων ἐν μιᾷ τῶν συναγωγῶν ἐν τοῖς Σάββασιν.
11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, γυνὴ πνεῦμα ἔχουσα ἀσθενείας ἔτη δεκαοκτώ, καὶ ἦν συγκύπτουσα καὶ μὴ δυναμένη ἀνακύψαι εἰς τὸ παντελές.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
Ἰδὼν δὲ αὐτὴν, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς προσεφώνησεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, “Γύναι, ἀπολέλυσαι τῆς ἀσθενείας σου.”
13 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
Καὶ ἐπέθηκεν αὐτῇ τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀνωρθώθη καὶ ἐδόξαζεν τὸν ˚Θεόν.
14 The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ ἀρχισυνάγωγος, ἀγανακτῶν ὅτι τῷ Σαββάτῳ ἐθεράπευσεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, ἔλεγεν τῷ ὄχλῳ, ὅτι “Ἓξ ἡμέραι εἰσὶν ἐν αἷς δεῖ ἐργάζεσθαι· ἐν αὐταῖς οὖν ἐρχόμενοι θεραπεύεσθε, καὶ μὴ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ Σαββάτου.”
15 Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath and lead him away to water?
Ἀπεκρίθη δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ˚Κύριος καὶ εἶπεν, “Ὑποκριταί! Ἕκαστος ὑμῶν τῷ Σαββάτῳ οὐ λύει τὸν βοῦν αὐτοῦ, ἢ τὸν ὄνον ἀπὸ τῆς φάτνης, καὶ ἀπαγαγὼν ποτίζει;
16 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”
Ταύτην δὲ θυγατέρα Ἀβραὰμ οὖσαν, ἣν ἔδησεν ὁ Σατανᾶς, ἰδοὺ, δέκα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη, οὐκ ἔδει λυθῆναι ἀπὸ τοῦ δεσμοῦ τούτου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ Σαββάτου;”
17 As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντος αὐτοῦ, κατῃσχύνοντο πάντες οἱ ἀντικείμενοι αὐτῷ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ ὄχλος ἔχαιρεν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐνδόξοις τοῖς γινομένοις ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ.
18 He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?
Ἔλεγεν οὖν, “Τίνι ὁμοία ἐστὶν ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ τίνι ὁμοιώσω αὐτήν;
19 It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his own garden. It grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.”
Ὁμοία ἐστὶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν, ἄνθρωπος ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ηὔξησεν καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον, καὶ ‘Τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ.’”
20 Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
Καὶ πάλιν εἶπεν, “Τίνι ὁμοιώσω τὴν Βασιλείαν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ;
21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
Ὁμοία ἐστὶν ζύμῃ, ἣν λαβοῦσα, γυνὴ ἐνέκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία, ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὅλον.”
22 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
Καὶ διεπορεύετο κατὰ πόλεις καὶ κώμας διδάσκων, καὶ πορείαν ποιούμενος εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
23 One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
Εἶπεν δέ τις αὐτῷ, “˚Κύριε, εἰ ὀλίγοι οἱ σῳζόμενοι;” Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς,
24 “Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
“Ἀγωνίζεσθε εἰσελθεῖν διὰ τῆς στενῆς θύρας, ὅτι πολλοί, λέγω ὑμῖν, ζητήσουσιν εἰσελθεῖν καὶ οὐκ ἰσχύσουσιν.
25 When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
Ἀφʼ οὗ ἂν ἐγερθῇ ὁ οἰκοδεσπότης καὶ ἀποκλείσῃ τὴν θύραν, καὶ ἄρξησθε ἔξω ἑστάναι καὶ κρούειν τὴν θύραν λέγοντες, ‘Κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν’· καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ἐρεῖ ὑμῖν, ‘Οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς, πόθεν ἐστέ.’
26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
Τότε ἄρξεσθε λέγειν, ‘Ἐφάγομεν ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ ἐπίομεν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡμῶν ἐδίδαξας.’
27 He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
Καὶ ἐρεῖ, λέγων ὑμῖν, ‘Οὐκ οἶδα πόθεν ἐστέ· “ἀπόστητε ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ, πάντες ἐργάται ἀδικίας”.’
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in God’s Kingdom, and yourselves being thrown outside.
Ἐκεῖ ἔσται ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς τῶν ὀδόντων, ὅταν ὄψησθε Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς προφήτας, ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὑμᾶς δὲ ἐκβαλλομένους ἔξω.
29 They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
Καὶ ἥξουσιν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν καὶ δυσμῶν καὶ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ νότου, καὶ ἀνακλιθήσονται ἐν τῇ Βασιλείᾳ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ.
30 Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
Καὶ ἰδοὺ, εἰσὶν ἔσχατοι οἳ ἔσονται πρῶτοι, καὶ εἰσὶν πρῶτοι οἳ ἔσονται ἔσχατοι.”
31 On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
Ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ προσῆλθάν τινες Φαρισαῖοι λέγοντες αὐτῷ, “Ἔξελθε καὶ πορεύου ἐντεῦθεν, ὅτι Ἡρῴδης θέλει σε ἀποκτεῖναι.”
32 He said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.
Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Πορευθέντες εἴπατε τῇ ἀλώπεκι ταύτῃ, ‘Ἰδοὺ, ἐκβάλλω δαιμόνια, καὶ ἰάσεις ἀποτελῶ σήμερον καὶ αὔριον, καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ τελειοῦμαι.’
33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can’t be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.’
Πλὴν δεῖ με, σήμερον καὶ αὔριον καὶ τῇ ἐχομένῃ πορεύεσθαι, ὅτι οὐκ ἐνδέχεται προφήτην ἀπολέσθαι ἔξω Ἰερουσαλήμ.
34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!
Ἰερουσαλὴμ, Ἰερουσαλήμ, ἡ ἀποκτείνουσα τοὺς προφήτας, καὶ λιθοβολοῦσα τοὺς ἀπεσταλμένους πρὸς αὐτήν, ποσάκις ἠθέλησα ἐπισυνάξαι τὰ τέκνα σου, ὃν τρόπον ὄρνις τὴν ἑαυτῆς νοσσιὰν ὑπὸ τὰς πτέρυγας, καὶ οὐκ ἠθελήσατε.
35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
Ἰδοὺ, ἀφίεται ὑμῖν ὁ οἶκος ὑμῶν. Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ ἴδητέ με ἕως εἴπητε, ‘Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι ˚Κυρίου.’”
