Arrepentíos o pereceréis

13 En esa misma ocasión había allí algunos que le contaron acerca de los galileos cuya sangre Pilato(A) había mezclado[a] con la de sus sacrificios. Respondiendo Jesús, les dijo: ¿Pensáis que estos galileos eran más pecadores(B) que todos los demás galileos, porque sufrieron esto? Os digo que no; al contrario, si no os arrepentís, todos pereceréis igualmente. ¿O pensáis que aquellos dieciocho, sobre los que cayó la torre en Siloé(C) y los mató, eran más deudores[b](D) que todos los hombres que habitan en Jerusalén? Os digo que no; al contrario, si no os arrepentís, todos pereceréis igualmente.

Parábola de la higuera estéril

Y les dijo esta parábola: Cierto hombre tenía una higuera plantada en su viña; y fue a buscar fruto de ella, y no lo halló(E). Y dijo al viñador: «Mira, hace tres años que vengo a buscar fruto en esta higuera, y no lo hallo. Córtala(F). ¿Por qué ha de cansar la tierra?». El entonces, respondiendo, le dijo: «Señor, déjala por este año todavía, hasta que yo cave alrededor de ella, y le eche abono, y si da fruto el año que viene, bien; y si no, córtala».

Jesús hace un milagro en día de reposo

10 Jesús estaba enseñando en una de las sinagogas un día de reposo(G), 11 y[c] había allí una mujer que durante dieciocho años había tenido una enfermedad causada por un espíritu(H); estaba encorvada, y de ninguna manera se podía enderezar. 12 Cuando Jesús la vio, la llamó y le dijo: Mujer, has quedado libre de tu enfermedad. 13 Y puso las manos sobre ella(I), y al instante se enderezó y glorificaba a Dios(J). 14 Pero el oficial de la sinagoga(K), indignado porque Jesús había sanado en día de reposo(L), reaccionó diciendo[d] a la multitud: Hay seis días en los cuales se debe trabajar(M); venid, pues, en esos días y sed sanados, y no en día de reposo. 15 Entonces el Señor(N) le respondió, y dijo: Hipócritas, ¿no desata cada uno de vosotros su buey o su asno del pesebre en día de reposo(O) y lo lleva a beber? 16 Y esta, que es hija de Abraham(P), a la que Satanás ha tenido atada durante dieciocho largos años(Q), ¿no debía ser libertada de esta ligadura en día de reposo? 17 Y al decir Él esto, todos sus adversarios se avergonzaban, pero toda la multitud se regocijaba(R) por todas las cosas gloriosas hechas por Él.

Parábola del grano de mostaza

18 Entonces (S)decía: ¿A qué es semejante el reino de Dios y con qué lo compararé(T)? 19 Es semejante a un grano de mostaza que un hombre tomó y echó en su huerto; y creció y se hizo árbol, y las aves del cielo anidaron en sus ramas.

Parábola de la levadura

20 Y volvió a decir: ¿A qué compararé el reino de Dios(U)? 21 (V)Es semejante a la levadura que una mujer tomó y escondió en tres medidas[e] de harina hasta que todo quedó fermentado.

La puerta estrecha

22 Pasaba Jesús por ciudades y aldeas, enseñando, mientras proseguía camino a Jerusalén(W). 23 Y alguien le dijo: Señor, ¿son pocos los que se salvan? Y Él les dijo: 24 Esforzaos por entrar por la puerta estrecha(X), porque os digo que muchos tratarán de entrar y no podrán. 25 Después que el dueño de la casa se levante y cierre la puerta(Y), y vosotros, estando fuera, comencéis a llamar a la puerta, diciendo: «Señor, ábrenos(Z)», Él[f] respondiendo, os dirá: «No sé de dónde sois(AA)». 26 Entonces comenzaréis a decir(AB): «Comimos y bebimos en tu presencia, y enseñaste en nuestras calles»; 27 y Él dirá: «Os digo que no sé de dónde sois(AC); apartaos de mí, todos los que hacéis iniquidad(AD)». 28 Allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes(AE) cuando veáis a Abraham, a Isaac, a Jacob y a todos los profetas en el reino de Dios, pero vosotros echados fuera. 29 Y vendrán del oriente y del occidente, del norte y del sur, y se sentarán[g] a la mesa en el reino de Dios(AF). 30 Y he aquí, hay últimos que serán primeros, y hay primeros que serán últimos(AG).

Lamento sobre Jerusalén

31 En ese momento llegaron unos fariseos diciéndole: Sal y vete de aquí, porque Herodes(AH) te quiere matar. 32 Y Él les dijo: Id y decidle a ese zorro: «Yo[h] expulso demonios, y hago curaciones hoy y mañana, y al tercer día cumplo mi propósito[i](AI)». 33 Sin embargo, debo seguir mi camino, hoy, mañana y pasado mañana(AJ); porque no puede ser que un profeta(AK) muera fuera de Jerusalén. 34 ¡(AL)Jerusalén, Jerusalén, la que mata a los profetas y apedrea a los que le son enviados! ¡Cuántas veces quise juntar a tus hijos, como la gallina a sus pollitos debajo de sus alas(AM), y no quisiste! 35 He aquí, vuestra casa se os deja desierta[j]; y os digo que no me veréis más, hasta que llegue el tiempo en que digáis: «Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor(AN)».

Magsisi Upang Hindi Mapahamak

13 Dumating noon ang ilang tao at ibinalita kay Jesus na ipinapatay ni Pilato ang ilang mga taga-Galilea habang ang mga ito'y naghahandog sa Diyos. Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Akala ba ninyo, dahil sa sinapit nilang iyon, higit silang masama kaysa sa ibang mga taga-Galilea? Hindi! Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, malibang magsisi kayo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan, mapapahamak din kayong tulad nila. At ang labingwalong namatay nang mabagsakan ng tore sa Siloe, sa akala ba ninyo'y higit silang makasalanan kaysa sa ibang naninirahan sa Jerusalem? Hindi! Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, malibang magsisi kayo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan, mapapahamak din kayong tulad nila.”

Ang Talinghaga ng Puno ng Igos

Sinabi pa sa kanila ni Jesus ang talinghagang ito. “May isang taong may tanim na puno ng igos sa kanyang ubasan. Minsan, tiningnan niya kung may bunga ang puno, ngunit wala siyang nakita. Dahil dito, sinabi niya sa tagapag-alaga ng ubasan, ‘Tatlong taon na akong pumaparito at naghahanap ng bunga sa punong ito, ngunit wala akong makita. Putulin mo na't nakakasikip lang iyan!’ Ngunit sumagot ang tagapag-alaga, ‘Huwag po muna nating putulin ngayon. Huhukayan ko po ang palibot at lalagyan ng pataba, baka sakaling mamunga na sa susunod na taon. Kung hindi pa, saka po ninyo ipaputol.’”

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Babaing Kuba

10 Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, si Jesus ay nagtuturo sa isang sinagoga. 11 May isang babae roon na labingwalong taon nang may karamdamang sanhi ng isang masamang espiritu. Siya'y nakukuba at hindi na makaunat. 12 Nang siya'y makita ni Jesus, tinawag siya at sinabi, “Malaya ka na sa iyong karamdaman.” 13 Ipinatong ni Jesus ang kanyang mga kamay sa babae, at noon di'y nakatayo siya nang tuwid at nagpuri sa Diyos.

14 Ngunit(A) nagalit ang tagapamahala ng sinagoga sapagkat nagpagaling si Jesus sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Kaya't sinabi ng tagapamahala sa mga tao, “May anim na araw na inilaan upang kayo'y magtrabaho. Sa mga araw na iyon kayo pumarito upang pagalingin at huwag sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.”

15 Sinagot siya ng Panginoon, “Mga mapagkunwari! Hindi ba't kinakalag ninyo sa sabsaban ang inyong baka o asno at dinadala sa painuman kahit sa Araw ng Pamamahinga? 16 Ang anak na ito ni Abraham ay ginapos ni Satanas sa loob ng labingwalong taon. Hindi ba dapat siyang kalagan kahit na sa Araw ng Pamamahinga?” 17 Napahiya ang lahat ng kumakalaban kay Jesus dahil sa isinagot niya. Natuwa naman ang mga tao dahil sa lahat ng mga kahanga-hangang bagay na ginawa niya.

Ang Talinghaga ng Buto ng Mustasa(B)

18 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ano ang katulad ng kaharian ng Diyos? Saan ko ito maihahambing? 19 Ang katulad nito'y isang buto ng mustasa na itinanim ng isang tao sa kanyang halamanan. Ito'y lumaki hanggang sa maging isang punongkahoy, at ang mga ibon ay nagpugad sa mga sanga nito.”

Ang Talinghaga ng Pampaalsa(C)

20 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Saan ko ihahambing ang kaharian ng Diyos? 21 Ito ay katulad ng pampaalsa na inihalo ng isang babae sa tatlong takal na harina,[a] kaya't umalsa ang buong masa.”

Ang Makipot na Pintuan(D)

22 Habang nagpapatuloy si Jesus papuntang Jerusalem, siya'y nagtuturo sa bawat bayan at nayon na kanyang dinaraanan. 23 Minsan may nagtanong sa kanya, “Ginoo, kakaunti po ba ang maliligtas?”

Sinabi niya sa kanila, 24 “Pagsikapan ninyong makapasok sa makipot na pintuan. Sinasabi ko sa inyo, marami ang magpupumilit pumasok ngunit hindi makakapasok. 25 Kapag tumayo na ang pinuno ng sambahayan at isinara na ang pinto, magtitiis kayong nakatayo sa labas at katok nang katok. Sasabihin ninyo, ‘Panginoon, papasukin po ninyo kami.’ Ngunit sasabihin niya sa inyo, ‘Hindi ko kayo kilala!’ 26 Sasabihin naman ninyo, ‘Kumain po kami at uminom na kasalo ninyo, at nagturo pa kayo sa aming mga lansangan.’ 27 Sasagot(E) naman siya, ‘Hindi ko kayo kilala! Lumayo kayo sa akin, kayong lahat na gumagawa ng kasamaan!’ 28 Iiyak(F)(G) kayo at magngangalit ang mga ngipin kapag nakita ninyong nasa kaharian ng Diyos sina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob, at ang lahat ng propeta, habang kayo nama'y ipinagtatabuyan! 29 Darating ang mga tao buhat sa silangan at sa kanluran, sa hilaga at sa timog, at kakain sa handaan sa kaharian ng Diyos. 30 Tunay(H) ngang may nahuhuling mauuna, at may nauunang mahuhuli.”

Ang Pagmamahal ni Jesus para sa Jerusalem(I)

31 Dumating noon ang ilang Pariseo at sinabi nila kay Jesus, “Umalis na kayo rito dahil gusto kayong ipapatay ni Herodes.”

32 Subalit sumagot siya, “Sabihin ninyo sa asong-gubat na iyon na nagpapalayas pa ako ngayon ng mga demonyo at nagpapagaling ng mga maysakit. Gayundin ang gagawin ko bukas, at sa ikatlong araw ay tatapusin ko ang aking gawain. 33 Ngunit dapat akong magpatuloy sa aking lakad ngayon, bukas, at sa makalawa, sapagkat hindi dapat mamatay sa labas ng Jerusalem ang isang propeta.

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Pinapatay mo ang mga propeta at binabato ang mga isinusugo sa iyo!

Ilang beses kong sinikap na kupkupin ang iyong mga anak, gaya ng pag-aaruga ng isang inahin sa kanyang mga sisiw, ngunit ayaw mo. 35 Kaya't(J) pababayaan nang lubusan ang iyong Templo. Sinasabi ko sa iyo, hindi mo na ako makikita hanggang sa dumating ang oras na sasabihin mo, ‘Pinagpala ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon!’”

  1. Lucas 13:21 TATLONG TAKAL NA HARINA: Ang katumbas na timbang ng tatlong takal na harinang ito ay halos apatnapung litro.

Repent or Perish

13 There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had [a]mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

He also spoke this parable: (A)“A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it [b]use up the ground?’ But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. [c]And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can (B)cut it down.’ ”

A Spirit of Infirmity

10 Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way [d]raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your (C)infirmity.” 13 (D)And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had (E)healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, (F)“There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and (G)not on the Sabbath day.”

15 The Lord then answered him and said, [e]“Hypocrite! (H)Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, (I)being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were (J)done by Him.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed(K)

18 (L)Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a [f]large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

The Parable of the Leaven(M)

20 And again He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like [g]leaven, which a woman took and hid in three (N)measures[h] of meal till it was all leavened.”

The Narrow Way(O)

22 (P)And He went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there (Q)few who are saved?”

And He said to them, 24 (R)“Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for (S)many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 (T)When once the Master of the house has risen up and (U)shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, (V)‘Lord, Lord, open for us,’ and He will answer and say to you, (W)‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 26 then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 27 (X)But He will say, ‘I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. (Y)Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.’ 28 (Z)There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, (AA)when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. 29 They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 (AB)And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”

31 [i]On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, “Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You.”

32 And He said to them, “Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day (AC)I shall be [j]perfected.’ 33 Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem(AD)

34 (AE)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 See! (AF)Your house is left to you desolate; and [k]assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, (AG)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’

13 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.

15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

17 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?

19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

22 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.

23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,

24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

33 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
