Luke 13

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galilim, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 Yeshua answered them, "Do you think that these Galilim were worse sinners than all the other Galilim, because they suffered such things?

3 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Shiloach fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Yerushalayim?

5 I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."

6 He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

7 He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'

8 He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.

9 If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"

10 He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the day of Shabbat.

11 Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.

12 When Yeshua saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."

13 He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.

14 The ruler of the synagogue, being moved with indignation because Yeshua had healed on the Shabbat, said to the multitude, "There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the day of Shabbat!"

15 Therefore the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Doesn't each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Shabbat, and lead him away to water?

16 Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Avraham, whom Hasatan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the day of Shabbat?"

17 As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

18 He said, "What is the kingdom of God like? To what shall I compare it?

19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and threw into his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in the branches of it."

20 Again he said, "What shall I compare to the kingdom of God?

21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three sata of flour, until it was all leavened."

22 He went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and traveling on to Yerushalayim.

23 One said to him, "Lord, are they few who are saved?" He said to them,

24 "Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

25 When once the master of the house has risen up, and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside, and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!' then he will answer and tell you, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'

26 Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drink in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'

27 He will say, 'I tell you, I don't know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.'

28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Avraham, Yitzchak, Ya`akov, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and yourselves being thrown outside.

29 They will come from the east, west, north, and south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God.

30 Behold, there are some who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

31 On that same day, some Perushim came, saying to him, "Get out of here, and go away, for Herod wants to kill you."

32 He said to them, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I complete my mission.

33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, for it can't be that a prophet perish out of Yerushalayim.'

34 "Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, that kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, like a hen gathers her own brood under her wings, and you refused!

35 Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!'"

The Message Bible MSG

1 About that time some people came up and told him about the Galileans Pilate had killed while they were at worship, mixing their blood with the blood of the sacrifices on the altar.

2 Jesus responded, "Do you think those murdered Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans?

3 Not at all. Unless you turn to God, you too will die.

4 And those eighteen in Jerusalem the other day, the ones crushed and killed when the Tower of Siloam collapsed and fell on them, do you think they were worse citizens than all other Jerusalemites?

5 Not at all. Unless you turn to God, you too will die."

6 Then he told them a story: "A man had an apple tree planted in his front yard. He came to it expecting to find apples, but there weren't any.

7 He said to his gardener, 'What's going on here? For three years now I've come to this tree expecting apples and not one apple have I found. Chop it down! Why waste good ground with it any longer?'

8 "The gardener said, 'Let's give it another year. I'll dig around it and fertilize,

9 and maybe it will produce next year; if it doesn't, then chop it down.'"

10 He was teaching in one of the meeting places on the Sabbath.

11 There was a woman present, so twisted and bent over with arthritis that she couldn't even look up. She had been afflicted with this for eighteen years.

12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over. "Woman, you're free!"

13 He laid hands on her and suddenly she was standing straight and tall, giving glory to God.

14 The meeting-place president, furious because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the congregation, "Six days have been defined as work days. Come on one of the six if you want to be healed, but not on the seventh, the Sabbath."

15 But Jesus shot back, "You frauds! Each Sabbath every one of you regularly unties your cow or donkey from its stall, leads it out for water, and thinks nothing of it.

16 So why isn't it all right for me to untie this daughter of Abraham and lead her from the stall where Satan has had her tied these eighteen years?"

17 When he put it that way, his critics were left looking quite silly and red-faced. The congregation was delighted and cheered him on.

18 Then he said, "How can I picture God's kingdom for you? What kind of story can I use?

19 It's like a pine nut that a man plants in his front yard. It grows into a huge pine tree with thick branches, and eagles build nests in it."

20 He tried again. "How can I picture God's kingdom?

21 It's like yeast that a woman works into enough dough for three loaves of bread - and waits while the dough rises."

22 He went on teaching from town to village, village to town, but keeping on a steady course toward Jerusalem.

23 A bystander said, "Master, will only a few be saved?"

24 "Whether few or many is none of your business. Put your mind on your life with God. The way to life - to God! - is vigorous and requires your total attention. A lot of you are going to assume that you'll sit down to God's salvation banquet just because you've been hanging around the neighborhood all your lives.

25 Well, one day you're going to be banging on the door, wanting to get in, but you'll find the door locked and the Master saying, 'Sorry, you're not on my guest list.'

26 "You'll protest, 'But we've known you all our lives!'

27 only to be interrupted with his abrupt, 'Your kind of knowing can hardly be called knowing. You don't know the first thing about me.'

28 "That's when you'll find yourselves out in the cold, strangers to grace. You'll watch Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets march into God's kingdom.

29 You'll watch outsiders stream in from east, west, north, and south and sit down at the table of God's kingdom. And all the time you'll be outside looking in - and wondering what happened.

30 This is the Great Reversal: the last in line put at the head of the line, and the so-called first ending up last.

31 Just then some Pharisees came up and said, "Run for your life! Herod's on the hunt. He's out to kill you!"

32 Jesus said, "Tell that fox that I've no time for him right now. Today and tomorrow I'm busy clearing out the demons and healing the sick; the third day I'm wrapping things up.

33 Besides, it's not proper for a prophet to come to a bad end outside Jerusalem.

34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killer of prophets, abuser of the messengers of God! How often I've longed to gather your children, gather your children like a hen, Her brood safe under her wings - but you refused and turned away!

35 And now it's too late: You won't see me again until the day you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of God.'"
