Luke 13:1-13 ▼

1 And there were some present at that time, telling Him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices;

2 and Jesus answering said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?

3 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, even so will all you perish.

4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?

5 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, all you will perish in like manner.”

6 And He spoke this allegory: “A certain one had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;

7 and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and do not find [it], cut it off, why does it also render the ground useless?

8 And he answering says to him, Lord, permit it also this year, until I may dig around it, and cast in dung;

9 and if indeed it may bear fruit—and if not so, thereafter you will cut it off.”

10 And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,

11 and behold, there was a woman having a spirit of disability [for] eighteen years, and she was bent together, and not able to bend back at all,

12 and Jesus having seen her, called [her] near and said to her, “Woman, you have been loosed from your disability”;

13 and He laid on her [His] hands, and immediately she was set upright, and was glorifying God.
