Luke 13 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Call to Repent

Luk 13:1There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

Luk 13:2

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

Luk 13:3

Luk 13:3I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.

Luk 13:4

Luk 13:4Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Silo'am fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem?

Luk 13:5

Luk 13:5I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."

Luk 13:6

Luk 13:6And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

Luk 13:7

Luk 13:7And he said to the vinedresser, 'Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?'

Luk 13:8

Luk 13:8And he answered him, 'Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure.

Luk 13:9

Luk 13:9And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; 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 there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself.

Luk 13:12

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

Luk 13:13

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

Luk 13:14

Luk 13:14But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, 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 ass from the manger, and lead it away to water it?

Luk 13:16

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

Luk 13:17

Luk 13:17As he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.

Parables of Mustard Seed and Leaven

(Mat 13:31, 32; Mar 4:30–32 )

Luk 13:18

Luk 13:18He said therefore, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?

Luk 13:19

Luk 13:19It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches."

(Mat 13:33 )

Luk 13:20

Luk 13:20And again he said, "To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?

Luk 13:21

Luk 13:24

Luk 13:24"Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.

Luk 13:25

Luk 13:25When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, 'I do not 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 say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!'

Luk 13:28

Luk 13:28There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out.

Luk 13:30

Luk 13:33

(Mat 23:37–39 )
