Luke 13:1-13 ▼

1 Now at the same time, some were present, reporting to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.

2 And answering, He said to them, “Do you? think that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered these things?

3 No, I say to you?; but unless you? repent, you? will all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and it killed them: Do you? think that these were debtors beyond all the men dwelling in Jerusalem?

5 No, I say to you?; but unless you? repent, you? will all likewise perish.”

6 And He was speaking this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and he did not find any.

7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and do not find it. Therefore cut it down! Why does it also render the soil useless?’

8 And answering, he says to him, ‘Sir, leave it this year also, until I may dig around it and put in manure,

9 and if indeed it should make fruit in the time, so be it. But if not, you will cut it down.’”

10 And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbaths.

11 And behold, a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over and not able to lift herself up to the full.

12 And having seen her, Jesus called her near and said to her, “Woman, you have been freed from your infirmity.”

13 And He laid the hands on her, and immediately she was set upright and was glorifying God.
