Repentance, healing, and the narrow gate

English onlyRead it word by word

Lc 13:1Aderant autem quīdam ipsō in tempore, nūntiantēs illī dē Galilaeīs, quōrum sanguinem Pīlātus miscuit cum sacrificiīs eōrum.Now some were present at that very time, reporting to him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices. Lc 13:2Et respondēns dīxit illīs: Putātis quod hī Galilaeī prae omnibus Galilaeīs peccātōrēs fuerint, quia tālia passī sunt?And answering, he said to them: "Do you think that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? Lc 13:3Nōn, dīcō vōbīs: sed nisi poenitentiam habueritis, omnēs similiter perībitis.No, I say to you: but unless you have repentance, you will all perish likewise. Lc 13:4Sīcut illī decem et octō, suprā quōs cecidit turris in Silōë, et occīdit eōs: putātis quia et ipsī dēbitōrēs fuerint praeter omnēs hominēs habitantēs in Jerūsalem?Just 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? Lc 13:5Nōn, dīcō vōbīs: sed sī poenitentiam nōn ēgeritis, omnēs similiter perībitis.No, I say to you: but if you do not do penance, you will all perish likewise." Lc 13:6Dīcēbat autem et hanc similitūdinem: Arborem fīcī habēbat quīdam plantātam in vīneā suā, et vēnit quaerēns frūctum in illā, et nōn invēnit.And 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.

Lc 13:7Dīxit autem ad cultōrem vīneae: Ecce annī trēs sunt ex quō veniō quaerēns frūctum in fīculneā hāc, et nōn inveniō: succīde ergō illam: ut quid etiam terram occupat?And 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?' Lc 13:8At ille respondēns, dīcit illī: Domine dīmitte illam et hōc annō, ūsque dum fodiam circā illam, et mittam stercora, et sīquidem fēcerit frūctum: sīn autem, in futūrum succīdēs eam.But 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.'" Lc 13:10Erat autem docēns in synagōgā eōrum sabbatīs.Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the sabbaths. Lc 13:11Et ecce mulier, quae habēbat spīritum īnfirmitātis annīs decem et octō: et erat inclīnāta, nec omnīnō poterat sūrsum respicere.And 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.

Lc 13:12Quam cum vidēret Jēsūs, vocāvit eam ad sē, et ait illī: Mulier, dīmissa es ab īnfirmitāte tuā.And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and said to her: "Woman, you have been released from your infirmity." Lc 13:13Et imposuit illī manūs, et cōnfestim ērēcta est, et glōrificābat Deum.And he laid his hands on her, and at once she was made straight, and she was glorifying God. Lc 13:14Respondēns autem archisynagōgus, indignāns quia sabbatō cūrāsset Jēsūs, dīcēbat turbae: Sex diēs sunt in quibus oportet operārī: in hīs ergō venīte, et cūrāminī, et nōn in diē sabbatī.But 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." Lc 13:15Respondēns autem ad illum Dominus, dīxit: Hypocritae, ūnusquisque vestrum sabbatō nōn solvit bovem suum, aut asinum ā praesēpiō, et dūcit adaquāre?But 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?

Lc 13:16Hanc autem fīliam Abrahae, quam alligāvit Satanās, ecce decem et octō annīs, nōn oportuit solvī ā vinculō istō diē sabbatī?But 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?" Lc 13:17Et cum haec dīceret, ērubēscēbant omnēs adversāriī ejus: et omnis populus gaudēbat in ūniversīs, quae glōriōsē fīēbant ab eō.And 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. Lc 13:18Dīcēbat ergō: Cui simile est regnum Deī, et cui simile aestimābō illud?He was saying therefore: "To what is the kingdom of God like, and to what shall I reckon it like? Lc 13:19Simile est grānō sināpis, quod acceptum homō mīsit in hortum suum, et crēvit, et factum est in arborem magnam: et volucrēs caelī requiēvērunt in rāmīs ejus.It 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."

Lc 13:20Et iterum dīxit: Cui simile aestimābō regnum Deī?And again he said: "To what shall I reckon the kingdom of God like? Lc 13:21Simile est fermentō, quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farīnae sata tria, dōnec fermentārētur tōtum.It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened." Lc 13:22Et ībat per cīvitātēs et castella, docēns, et iter faciēns in Jerūsalem.And he was going through cities and villages, teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem. Lc 13:23Ait autem illī quīdam: Domine, sī paucī sunt, quī salvantur?And a certain man said to him: "Lord, are those who are being saved few?" Lc 13:23Ipse autem dīxit ad illōs: Contendite intrāre per angustam portam: quia multī, dīcō vōbīs, quaerent intrāre, et nōn poterunt.But 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. Lc 13:25Cum autem intrāverit paterfamiliās, et clauserit ōstium, incipiētis forīs stāre, et pulsāre ōstium, dīcentēs: Domine, aperī nōbīs: et respondēns dīcet vōbīs: Nesciō vōs unde sītis: tunc incipiētis dīcere: Mandūcāvimus cōram tē, et bibimus, et in platēīs nostrīs docuistī.But 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.' Lc 13:27Et dīcet vōbīs: Nesciō vōs unde sītis: discēdite ā mē omnēs operāriī inīquitātis.And he will say to you: 'I do not know you, where you are from: depart from me, all workers of iniquity.' Lc 13:28Ibi erit flētus et strīdor dentium: cum vīderitis Abraham, et Isaac, et Jacob, et omnēs prophētās in regnō Deī, vōs autem expellī forās.There 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.

Lc 13:29Et venient ab oriente, et occidente, et aquilōne, et austrō, et accumbent in regnō Deī.And they will come from the east, and the west, and the north, and the south, and will recline in the kingdom of God. Lc 13:30Et ecce sunt novissimī quī erunt prīmī, et sunt prīmī quī erunt novissimī.And look, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last." Lc 13:31In ipsā diē accessērunt quīdam pharisaeōrum, dīcentēs illī: Exī, et vāde hinc: quia Hērōdēs vult tē occīdere.On 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." Lc 13:32Et ait illīs: Īte, et dīcite vulpī illī: Ecce ējiciō daemonia, et sānitātēs perficiō hodiē, et crās, et tertiā diē cōnsummor.And 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.' Lc 13:33Vērumtamen oportet mē hodiē et crās et sequentī diē ambulāre: quia nōn capit prophētam perīre extrā Jerūsalem.But yet I must walk today and tomorrow and on the following day: because it is not fitting for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem.

Lc 13:34Jerūsalem, Jerūsalem, quae occīdis prophētās, et lapidās eōs quī mittuntur ad tē, quotiēs voluī congregāre fīliōs tuōs quemadmodum avis nīdum suum sub pennīs, et nōluistī?Jerusalem, 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? Lc 13:35Ecce relinquētur vōbīs domus vestra dēserta.Look, your house will be left to you deserted. Lc 13:35Dīcō autem vōbīs, quia nōn vidēbitis mē dōnec veniat cum dīcētis: Benedictus quī venit in nōmine Dominī.But 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.'"
