Luke 13 (WEBP)

[1] Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
[2] Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
[3] I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
[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?
[5] I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
[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.
[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?’
[8] He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
[9] If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’ ”
[10] He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
[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.
[12] When Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
[13] He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
[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!”
[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?
[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?”
[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.
[18] He said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it?
[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.”
[20] Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom?
[21] It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.”
[22] He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Jerusalem.
[23] One said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” He said to them,
[24] “Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in and will not be able.
[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.’
[26] Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
[27] He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’
[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.
[29] They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in God’s Kingdom.
[30] Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last.”
[31] On that same day, some Pharisees came, saying to him, “Get out of here and go away, for Herod wants to kill you.”
[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.
[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.’
[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!
[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!’ ”

Young’s Literal Translation

Luke 13 (YLT)

[1] And there were present certain at that time, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their sacrifices;
[2] and Jesus answering said to them, ‘Think ye that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?
[3] No-I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even so shall perish.
[4] ‘Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; think ye that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?
[5] No-I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in like manner shall perish.’
[6] And he spake this simile: ‘A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;
[7] and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off, why also the ground doth it render useless?
[8] ‘And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung;
[9] and if indeed it may bear fruit-;and if not so, thereafter thou shalt cut it off.’
[10] And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath,
[11] and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,
[12] and Jesus having seen her, did call her near, and said to her, ‘Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;’
[13] and he laid on her his hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.
[14] And the chief of the synagogue answering-much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed-said to the multitude, ‘Six days there are in which it behoveth us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.’
[15] Then the Lord answered him and said, ‘Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water it?
[16] and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?’
[17] And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.
[18] And he said, ‘To what is the reign of God like? and to what shall I liken it?
[19] It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its branches.’
[20] And again he said, ‘To what shall I liken the reign of God?
[21] It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.’
[22] And he was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making progress toward Jerusalem;
[23] and a certain one said to him, ‘Sir, are those saved few?’ and he said unto them,
[24] ‘Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able;
[25] from the time the master of the house may have risen up, and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye are,
[26] then ye may begin to say, We did eat before thee, and did drink, and in our broad places thou didst teach;
[27] and he shall say, I say to you, I have not known you whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of the unrighteousness.
[28] ‘There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast out without;
[29] and they shall come from east and west, and from north and south, and shall recline in the reign of God,
[30] and lo, there are last who shall be first, and there are first who shall be last.’
[31] On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to him, ‘Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to kill thee;’
[32] and he said to them, ‘Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am being perfected;
[33] but it behoveth me to-day, and to-morrow, and the day following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem.
[34] ‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.
[35] ‘Lo, your house is being left to you desolate, and verily I say to you-ye may not see me, till it may come, when ye may say, Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord.’
