\subsection{Luke 13} \subsubsection{A Call to Repent} \VS{1} Now there were at hand some in that opportune-time\fnKairos{} reporting to him concerning the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifice. \VS{2} And answering he said to them: Do you suppose that these Galileans were sinners more than all the Galileans because of these [things] that they suffered? \VS{3} No, I say to you, but if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish. \VS{4} Or those eighteen upon whom fell the tower in Siloam and killed them, do you suppose them to have been debtors more than all the men inhabiting Jerusalem? \VS{5} No, I say to you, but if you do not repent, you will all likewise perish. \subsubsection{Warning to Israel to Bear Fruit} \VS{6} But he was saying this parable: A certain man has [a] fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. \VS{7} So he said to his vinedresser: Behold from which three years I come seeking fruit on this tree and found none. Cut it down, why also waste the land? \VS{8} But answering he said to him: Lord, leave it even this year, until I dig around it and throw dung, \VS{9} and for result it may give fruit. Otherwise, cut it down. \subsubsection{Healing on the Sabbath} \VS{10} Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. \VS{11} And behold [a] woman having [a] spirit of sickliness eighteen years; and she was bent over and unable to stand completely erect. \VS{12} So Jesus seeing her called out and said to her: Woman, you are released [of your] sickliness, \VS{13} and laid upon her his hands, and immediately she became erect, and was glorifying God. \VS{14} But the chief of the synagogue answering, being indignant that Jesus healed on the Sabbath, was saying to the crowd that: There are six days in which one must work. In those coming therefore be healing and not on the day of the Sabbath. \VS{15} But the Lord answered him and said: Hypocrites, don't each [of you] on the Sabbath loose your ox or ass from the manger and leading give them to drink? \VS{16} But this [one] being [a] daughter of Abraham, who satan bound behold ten and eight years, wasn't it necessary she be loosed from this bond on the day of the Sabbath? \VS{17} And when he said these [things] all his opponents were disgraced, and all the crowd rejoiced upon all the splendid [things] that came to pass by him. \subsubsection{On the Kingdom of God} \VS{18} He was saying therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what will I liken it? \VS{19} It is like [a] mustard seed, which taking, [a] man placed in his garden, and it grew and became [a] tree, and the birds of heaven nested in its branches. \VS{20} And again he said: To what will I liken the kingdom of God? \VS{21} It is like leaven, which taking, [a] woman hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened. \subsubsection{The Narrow Door} \VS{22} And he was going through by city and town teaching and doing the journey to Jerusalem. \VS{23} But someone said to him: Lord, [are] few being saved? But he said to him: \VS{24} Be striving to enter through the narrow door, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be strong enough. \VS{25} When the master of the house arises and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and to be knocking on the door saying: Lord, open to us, and answering he will say to you: I do not know whence you are. \VS{26} Then you will begin to be saying: We ate before you and drank, and in our streets you taught. \VS{27} And he will say to them: I do not know whence you are. Depart from me all [who] do injustice. \VS{28} There will there be weeping and gnashing\footnote{or ``grinding,'' ``biting,'' ``snarling''} of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you cast out. \VS{29} And they will come from the east and the west and from north and south, and banquet in the kingdom of God. \VS{30} And behold the last will be first and the first will be last. \subsubsection{Going to Jerusalem} \VS{31} In that hour certain Pharisees came and said to him: Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you. \VS{32} And he said to them: Go and tell that fox: Behold, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will be completed\footnote{or ``perfected''}. \VS{33} Neverthess I must go [on my way] today and tomorrow and the next day, for it cannot be that [a] prophet should perish away from Jerusalem. \VS{34} Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the [city] that kills the prophets and stones those sent to it. How often would I have gathered your children together as [a] hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! \VS{35} Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say: Blessed [is] the one coming in the name of the Lord!
