Luke 13 :: New English Translation (NET)

Call to Repent

Luk 13:1Now there were some present on that occasion who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

Luk 13:2

Luk 13:2He answered them, "Do you think these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?

Luk 13:3

Luk 13:3No, I tell you! But unless you repent, you will all perish as well!

Luk 13:4

Luk 13:4Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them, do you think they were worse offenders than all the others who live in Jerusalem?

Luk 13:5

Luk 13:5No, I tell you! But unless you repent you will all perish as well!"

Luk 13:6

Luk 13:6Then Jesus told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

Luk 13:7

Luk 13:7So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, 'For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?'

Luk 13:8

Luk 13:8But the worker answered him, 'Sir, leave it alone this year too, until I dig around it and put fertilizer on it.

Luk 13:9

Luk 13:9Then if it bears fruit next year, very well, but if not, you can cut it down.'"

Healing on the Sabbath

Luk 13:10

Luk 13:10Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,

Luk 13:11

Luk 13:11and a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely.

Luk 13:12

Luk 13:12When Jesus saw her, he called her to him and said, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

Luk 13:13

Luk 13:13Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.

Luk 13:14

Luk 13:14But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, "There are six days on which work should be done! So come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day."

Luk 13:15

Luk 13:15Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from its stall, and lead it to water?

Luk 13:16

Luk 13:16Then shouldn't this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be released from this imprisonment on the Sabbath day?"

Luk 13:17

Luk 13:17When he said this all his adversaries were humiliated, but the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful things he was doing.

Parables of Mustard Seed and Leaven

(Mat 13:31, 32; Mar 4:30–32 )

Luk 13:18

Luk 13:18Thus Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? To what should I compare it?

Luk 13:19

Luk 13:19It is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the wild birds nested in its branches."

(Mat 13:33 )

Luk 13:20

Luk 13:20Again he said, "To what should I compare the kingdom of God?

Luk 13:21

Luk 13:21It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen."

Teaching in the Villages

(Mat 7:13, 14 )

Luk 13:22

Luk 13:22Then Jesus traveled throughout towns and villages, teaching and making his way toward Jerusalem.

Luk 13:23

Luk 13:23Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few be saved?" So he said to them,

Luk 13:24

Luk 13:24"Exert every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.

Luk 13:25

Luk 13:25Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, then you will stand outside and start to knock on the door and beg him, 'Lord, let us in!' But he will answer you, 'I don't know where you come from.'

Luk 13:26

Luk 13:26Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

Luk 13:27

Luk 13:27But he will reply, 'I don't know where you come from! Go away from me, all you evildoers!'

Luk 13:28

Luk 13:28There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves thrown out.

Luk 13:29

Luk 13:29Then people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God.

Luk 13:30

Luk 13:30But indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."

Luk 13:31

Luk 13:31At that time, some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus, "Get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you."

Luk 13:32

Luk 13:32But he said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work.

Luk 13:33

Luk 13:33Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, because it is impossible that a prophet should be killed outside Jerusalem.'

(Mat 23:37–39 )

Luk 13:34

Luk 13:34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it!

Luk 13:35

Luk 13:35Look, your house is forsaken! And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, 'Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
