Luke 13 :: King James Version (KJV)

Call to Repent

Luk 13:1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

Luk 13:2

Luk 13:2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

Luk 13:3

Luk 13:3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luk 13:4

Luk 13:4Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

Luk 13:5

Luk 13:5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Luk 13:6

Luk 13:6He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Luk 13:7

Luk 13:7Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

Luk 13:8

Luk 13:8And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

Luk 13:9

Luk 13:9And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Healing on the Sabbath

Luk 13:10

Luk 13:10And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

Luk 13:11

Luk 13:11And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

Luk 13:12

Luk 13:12And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

Luk 13:13

Luk 13:13And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Luk 13:14

Luk 13:14And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

Luk 13:15

Luk 13:15The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

Luk 13:16

Luk 13:16And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

Luk 13:17

Luk 13:17And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

Luk 13:18

Luk 13:18Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

Luk 13:19

Luk 13:19It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

(Mat 13:33 )

Luk 13:20

Luk 13:20And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

Luk 13:21

Luk 13:21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Luk 13:24

Luk 13:25

Luk 13:26

Luk 13:26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
