13:1Now some were present at that very time, reporting to him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices. 13:2And answering, he said to them: "Do you think that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? 13:3No, I say to you: but unless you have repentance, you will all perish likewise. 13:4Just as those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them: do you think that they too were debtors beyond all the people dwelling in Jerusalem? 13:5No, I say to you: but if you do not do penance, you will all perish likewise." 13:6And he was saying also this likeness: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and did not find any.
13:7And he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: 'Look, it is three years since I have been coming seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I do not find it: cut it down therefore: why does it even occupy the ground?' 13:8But he, answering, says to him: 'Lord, leave it alone this year too, until I dig around it, and put in dung, and if indeed it bears fruit, well: but if not, in the future you will cut it down.'" 13:10Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the sabbaths. 13:11And look, a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years: and she was bent over, and could not look upwards at all.
13:12And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and said to her: "Woman, you have been released from your infirmity." 13:13And he laid his hands on her, and at once she was made straight, and she was glorifying God. 13:14But the ruler of the synagogue, answering, indignant because Jesus had cured on the sabbath, was saying to the crowd: "There are six days on which one ought to work: on these therefore come, and be cured, and not on the day of the sabbath." 13:15But the Lord, answering him, said: "Hypocrites, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it to water?
13:16But this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, look, for eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond on the day of the sabbath?" 13:17And when he was saying these things, all his adversaries were blushing: and all the people were rejoicing at all the things which were being done gloriously by him. 13:18He was saying therefore: "To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I reckon it like? 13:19It is like a grain of mustard, which a man took and sent into his garden, and it grew, and became a great tree: and the birds of the sky rested in its branches."
13:20And again he said: "To what shall I reckon the kingdom of God like? 13:21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened." 13:22And he was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem. 13:23And a certain man said to him: "Lord, are those who are being saved few?" 13:23But he said to them: "Strive to go in through the narrow gate: because many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and will not be able. 13:25But when the father of the household has gone in, and has shut the door, you will begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying: 'Lord, open to us': and answering he will say to you: 'I do not know you, where you are from': then you will begin to say: 'We ate before you, and drank, and in our streets you taught.' 13:27And he will say to you: 'I do not know you, where you are from: depart from me, all workers of iniquity.' 13:28There will be weeping and grinding of teeth: when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being driven outside.
13:29And they will come from the east, and the west, and the north, and the south, and will recline in the kingdom of God. 13:30And look, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last." 13:31On that very day some of the Pharisees came up, saying to him: "Go out, and go away from here: because Herod wishes to kill you." 13:32And he said to them: "Go, and say to that fox: 'Look, I throw out demons, and accomplish cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I am brought to completion.' 13:33But yet I must walk today and tomorrow and on the following day: because it is not fitting for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.
13:34Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets, and stone those who are sent to you, how often have I wished to gather your children as a bird gathers its nest under its wings, and you were unwilling? 13:35Look, your house will be left to you deserted. 13:35But I say to you, that you will not see me until it comes when you will say: 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
