Luke 13

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.'"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 aderant autem quidam ipso in tempore nuntiantes illi de Galilaeis quorum sanguinem Pilatus miscuit cum sacrificiis eorum

2 et respondens dixit illis putatis quod hii Galilaei prae omnibus Galilaeis peccatores fuerunt quia talia passi sunt

3 non dico vobis sed nisi paenitentiam habueritis omnes similiter peribitis

4 sicut illi decem et octo supra quos cecidit turris in Siloam et occidit eos putatis quia et ipsi debitores fuerunt praeter omnes homines habitantes in Hierusalem

5 non dico vobis sed si non paenitentiam egeritis omnes similiter peribitis

6 dicebat autem hanc similitudinem arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua et venit quaerens fructum in illa et non invenit

7 dixit autem ad cultorem vineae ecce anni tres sunt ex quo venio quaerens fructum in ficulnea hac et non invenio succide ergo illam ut quid etiam terram occupat

8 at ille respondens dixit illi domine dimitte illam et hoc anno usque dum fodiam circa illam et mittam stercora

9 et si quidem fecerit fructum sin autem in futurum succides eam

10 erat autem docens in synagoga eorum sabbatis

11 et ecce mulier quae habebat spiritum infirmitatis annis decem et octo et erat inclinata nec omnino poterat sursum respicere

12 quam cum videret Iesus vocavit ad se et ait illi mulier dimissa es ab infirmitate tua

13 et inposuit illi manus et confestim erecta est et glorificabat Deum

14 respondens autem archisynagogus indignans quia sabbato curasset Iesus dicebat turbae sex dies sunt in quibus oportet operari in his ergo venite et curamini et non in die sabbati

15 respondit autem ad illum Dominus et dixit hypocritae unusquisque vestrum sabbato non solvit bovem suum aut asinum a praesepio et ducit adaquare

16 hanc autem filiam Abrahae quam alligavit Satanas ecce decem et octo annis non oportuit solvi a vinculo isto die sabbati

17 et cum haec diceret erubescebant omnes adversarii eius et omnis populus gaudebat in universis quae gloriose fiebant ab eo

18 dicebat ergo cui simile est regnum Dei et cui simile esse existimabo illud

19 simile est grano sinapis quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum et crevit et factum est in arborem magnam et volucres caeli requieverunt in ramis eius

20 et iterum dixit cui simile aestimabo regnum Dei

21 simile est fermento quod acceptum mulier abscondit in farinae sata tria donec fermentaretur totum

22 et ibat per civitates et castella docens et iter faciens in Hierusalem

23 ait autem illi quidam Domine si pauci sunt qui salvantur ipse autem dixit ad illos

24 contendite intrare per angustam portam quia multi dico vobis quaerunt intrare et non poterunt

25 cum autem intraverit pater familias et cluserit ostium et incipietis foris stare et pulsare ostium dicentes Domine aperi nobis et respondens dicet vobis nescio vos unde sitis

26 tunc incipietis dicere manducavimus coram te et bibimus et in plateis nostris docuisti

27 et dicet vobis nescio vos unde sitis discedite a me omnes operarii iniquitatis

28 ibi erit fletus et stridor dentium cum videritis Abraham et Isaac et Iacob et omnes prophetas in regno Dei vos autem expelli foras

29 et venient ab oriente et occidente et aquilone et austro et accumbent in regno Dei

30 et ecce sunt novissimi qui erunt primi et sunt primi qui erunt novissimi

31 in ipsa die accesserunt quidam Pharisaeorum dicentes illi exi et vade hinc quia Herodes vult te occidere

32 et ait illis ite dicite vulpi illi ecce eicio daemonia et sanitates perficio hodie et cras et tertia consummor

33 verumtamen oportet me hodie et cras et sequenti ambulare quia non capit prophetam perire extra Hierusalem

34 Hierusalem Hierusalem quae occidis prophetas et lapidas eos qui mittuntur ad te quotiens volui congregare filios tuos quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pinnis et noluisti

35 ecce relinquitur vobis domus vestra dico autem vobis quia non videbitis me donec veniat cum dicetis benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini
