  Luke chapter 13 Now on the same occasion there were some present
• 0:04
  who reported to him about the Galileans whose blood pilot had
• 0:07
  mixed with their sacrifices, And Jesus said to them, Do you
• 0:11
  suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all
• 0:14
  other Galileans because they suffered this fate?
• 0:16
  I tell you no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise
• 0:20
  perish. Or do you suppose that those 18
• 0:23
  on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse
• 0:26
  culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?
• 0:29
  I tell you no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise
• 0:32
  perish. And he began telling this
• 0:34
  parable. A man had a fig tree which had
• 0:36
  been planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on
• 0:39
  it and did not find any. And he said to the vineyard
• 0:42
  keeper, Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on
• 0:45
  this fig tree without finding any.
• 0:47
  Cut it down. Why does it even use up the
• 0:49
  ground? And he answered and said to him,
• 0:51
  Let it alone, Sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and
• 0:55
  put in fertilizer, and if it bears fruit next year, fine, but
• 0:58
  if not, cut it down. And he was teaching in one of
• 1:01
  the synagogues on the Sabbath, and there was a woman who for 18
• 1:04
  years had had a sickness caused by a spirit, and she was bent
• 1:08
  double and could not straighten up at all.
• 1:10
  When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, woman,
• 1:13
  you are freed from your sickness.
• 1:15
  And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made
• 1:17
  erect again, began glorifying God.
• 1:20
  But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had
• 1:22
  healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response,
• 1:26
  there are 6 days in which work should be done, so come during
• 1:29
  them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
• 1:32
  But the Lord answered him and said, you hypocrites, does not
• 1:35
  each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the
• 1:38
  stall and lead him away to water him?
• 1:41
  And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan
• 1:45
  has bound for 18 long years, should she not have been
• 1:48
  released from this bond on the Sabbath day?
• 1:51
  As he said this, all his opponents were being humiliated,
• 1:54
  and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious
• 1:56
  things being done by him. So he was saying, What is the
• 2:00
  Kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?
• 2:03
  It is like a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his
• 2:06
  own garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of
• 2:10
  the air nested in its branches. And again he said, To what shall
• 2:14
  I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like leaven which a woman
• 2:17
  took and hid in three packs of flour until it was all leavened.
• 2:22
  And he was passing through from one city and village to another,
• 2:24
  teaching and proceeding on his way to Jerusalem.
• 2:27
  And someone said to him, Lord, are there just a few who are
• 2:30
  being saved? And he said to them, strive to
• 2:33
  enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek
• 2:36
  to enter and will not be able. Once the head of the house gets
• 2:39
  up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock
• 2:42
  on the door, saying, Lord, open up to us.
• 2:46
  Then he will answer and say to you, I do not know where you are
• 2:48
  from. Then you will begin to say, We
• 2:51
  ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.
• 2:54
  And he will say, I tell you, I do not know where you are from.
• 2:58
  Depart from me all you evil doers in that place.
• 3:01
  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see
• 3:04
  Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom
• 3:07
  of God, but yourselves being thrown out.
• 3:10
  And they will come from east and West and from North and South,
• 3:13
  and will recline at the table in the Kingdom of God.
• 3:15
  And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are
• 3:18
  first who will be last. Just at that time some Pharisees
• 3:22
  approached, saying to him, go away, leave here, for Herod
• 3:26
  wants to kill you. And he said to them, Go and tell
• 3:29
  that fox, Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today
• 3:33
  and tomorrow, and the third day I reach my goal.
• 3:36
  Nevertheless, I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next
• 3:39
  day. For it cannot be that a prophet
• 3:41
  would perish outside of Jerusalem.
• 3:43
  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and
• 3:47
  stones those sent to her. How often I wanted to gather
• 3:50
  your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under
• 3:53
  her wings, and you would not have it.
• 3:56
  Behold, your house is left to you desolate, and I say to you,
• 4:00
  you will not see me until the time comes when you say, Blessed
• 4:03
  is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
