Luke 13:1-13 ▼

1 At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate (armed with a spear) had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 To this He replied, “Do you⁺ think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this way?

3 No, I tell you⁺. But unless you⁺ repent, you⁺ too will all perish.

4 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you⁺ think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem (city of peace)?

5 No, I tell you⁺. But unless you⁺ repent, you⁺ too will all perish.

6 Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

7 So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look (Behold), for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down [Cut it down!]! Why should it use up the soil?

8 ‘Sir {Kyrie}, the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

9 If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.

10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching {didaskōn} in one of the synagogues,

11 and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit {pneuma} for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.

12 When Jesus (YHWH saves) saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.

13 Then He placed His hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and began to glorify God {Theon}.
