Umkehren oder umkommen

13 Zu dieser Zeit kamen einige Leute zu Jesus und berichteten ihm von den Galiläern, die Pilatus am Altar umbringen ließ und deren Blut sich auf diese Weise mit dem ihrer Opfertiere[a] vermischte. Da sagte Jesus zu ihnen: »Meint ihr, diese Leute[b] seien größere Sünder gewesen als alle übrigen Galiläer, weil so etwas Schreckliches mit ihnen geschehen ist? Nein, sage ich euch; wenn ihr nicht umkehrt, werdet ihr alle genauso umkommen. Oder denkt an jene achtzehn Menschen, die beim Einsturz des Turms von Schiloach den Tod fanden. Meint ihr, ihre Schuld sei größer gewesen als die aller anderen Einwohner Jerusalems? Nein, sage ich euch; wenn ihr nicht umkehrt, werdet ihr alle ebenso umkommen.«

Das Gleichnis vom unfruchtbaren Feigenbaum

Dann erzählte Jesus folgendes Gleichnis: »Ein Mann hatte in seinem Weinberg einen Feigenbaum stehen; doch wenn er kam und sehen wollte, ob der Baum Früchte trug, fand er keine. Schließlich sagte er zu dem Gärtner, der den Weinberg pflegte: »Schon drei Jahre komme ich jetzt, um zu sehen, ob dieser Feigenbaum Früchte trägt, und finde keine. Hau ihn um! Warum soll er den Boden noch länger aussaugen?[c]‹ – ›Herr‹, erwiderte der Gärtner, ›lass ihn noch dieses Jahr stehen. Ich will die Erde um ihn herum ´noch einmal` umgraben und düngen. Vielleicht trägt er dann nächstes Jahr Früchte – wenn nicht, kannst du ihn umhauen.‹«

Heilung einer verkrüppelten Frau am Sabbat

10 Jesus lehrte an einem Sabbat in einer Synagoge. 11 Unter den Zuhörern war eine Frau, die seit achtzehn Jahren unter einem bösen Geist zu leiden hatte, der sie mit einer Krankheit plagte[d]. Sie war verkrümmt und völlig unfähig, sich aufzurichten[e]. 12 Jesus bemerkte sie und rief sie zu sich. »Liebe Frau«, sagte er, »du bist frei von deinem Leiden!«, 13 und er legte ihr die Hände auf. Im selben Augenblick konnte sie sich wieder aufrichten, und sie fing an, Gott zu preisen.

14 Doch der Synagogenvorsteher war empört darüber, dass Jesus die Frau am Sabbat geheilt hatte. Er sagte zu der versammelten Menge: »Es gibt sechs Tage, die zum Arbeiten da sind. An denen könnt ihr kommen und euch heilen lassen, aber nicht am Sabbat.«

15 Der Herr entgegnete ihm: »Ihr Heuchler! Bindet nicht jeder von euch auch am Sabbat seinen Ochsen oder seinen Esel vom Futterplatz los und führt ihn zur Tränke? 16 Und diese Frau hier, die der Satan volle achtzehn Jahre lang gebunden hielt und die doch eine Tochter Abrahams ist – die sollte man am Sabbat nicht von ihren Fesseln befreien dürfen?«

17 Diese Antwort Jesu brachte alle seine Gegner in größte Verlegenheit[f]. Das ganze Volk jedoch freute sich über all die wunderbaren Dinge, die durch ihn geschahen.

Das Gleichnis vom Senfkorn

18 Dann sagte Jesus: »Mit welchem Bild lässt sich das Reich Gottes darstellen?[g] Womit soll ich es vergleichen? 19 Es ist mit dem Reich Gottes wie mit einem Senfkorn, das ein Mann[h] in seinem Garten sät. Es ´geht auf und` wächst und wird zu einem Baum, in dessen Zweigen die Vögel[i] nisten.«

Das Gleichnis vom Sauerteig

20 Jesus fuhr fort: »Womit kann ich das Reich Gottes noch vergleichen? 21 Es ist mit dem Reich Gottes wie mit dem Sauerteig. Eine Frau nimmt ´eine Hand voll` davon, mengt ihn unter einen halben Sack[j] Mehl, und am Ende ist die ganze Masse durchsäuert.«

Die enge Tür

22 Jesus setzte seine Reise nach Jerusalem fort; er zog von Stadt zu Stadt und von Dorf zu Dorf, und überall lehrte er.

23 Einmal wurde er gefragt: »Herr, sind es nur wenige, die gerettet werden?« Jesus antwortete: 24 »Setzt alles daran, durch die enge Tür einzutreten! Denn das sage ich euch: Viele werden versuchen einzutreten, und es wird ihnen nicht gelingen.

25 Wenn der Hausherr aufgestanden ist und die Tür abgeschlossen hat, werdet ihr draußen stehen, an die Tür klopfen und rufen: ›Herr, mach uns auf!‹ Doch er wird euch antworten: ›Ich kenne euch nicht; ich weiß nicht, woher ihr seid.‹ 26 Dann werdet ihr einwenden: ›Wir haben doch mit dir gegessen und getrunken, und du hast auf den Straßen unserer Stadt gelehrt.‹ 27 Er aber wird euch noch einmal dasselbe antworten: ›Ich kenne euch nicht; ich weiß nicht, woher ihr seid. Geht alle weg von mir, ihr mit eurem unrechten Treiben!‹ 28 Dort draußen bleibt für euch nichts als lautes Jammern und angstvolles Zittern und Beben[k], wenn ihr sehen werdet, dass Abraham, Isaak und Jakob samt allen Propheten im Reich Gottes sind, ihr aber ausgeschlossen seid. 29 Von Osten und Westen und von Norden und Süden werden Menschen kommen und sich im Reich Gottes zu Tisch setzen. 30 Es gibt Letzte, die werden Erste sein, und Erste, die werden Letzte sein.«

Jesus lässt sich nicht von seinem Auftrag abbringen

31 Da[l] kamen einige Pharisäer zu Jesus und sagten: »Auf, geh fort von hier; Herodes trachtet dir nach dem Leben!« 32 Jesus erwiderte: »Geht und sagt diesem Fuchs: ›Heute und morgen treibe ich Dämonen aus und heile Kranke, und am dritten Tag wird mein Leben vollendet[m].‹ 33 Ja, ich muss heute und morgen und auch noch am darauf folgenden Tag meinen Weg gehen; denn es ist undenkbar[n], dass ein Prophet an einem anderen Ort umkommt als in Jerusalem.«

Klage über Jerusalem

34 »Jerusalem, Jerusalem, du tötest die Propheten und steinigst die, die Gott zu dir schickt[o]. Wie oft wollte ich deine Kinder sammeln, wie eine Henne ihre Küken unter ihre Flügel nimmt! Aber ihr habt nicht gewollt. 35 Seht, euer Haus wird verlassen sein. Ich sage euch: Ihr werdet mich erst wieder sehen, wenn die Zeit kommt, in der ihr rufen werdet: ›Gesegnet sei er, der im Namen des Herrn kommt!‹[p]«

Repent or Perish

13 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood (A)Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, (B)“Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless you (C)repent, you will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower in (D)Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you (E)repent, you will all likewise perish.”

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

And he told this parable: “A man had (F)a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. (G)Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”

A Woman with a Disabling Spirit

10 Now (H)he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had had (I)a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.” 13 And he (J)laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she (K)glorified God. 14 But (L)the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus (M)had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, (N)“There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” 15 Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! (O)Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? 16 And ought not this woman, (P)a daughter of Abraham whom (Q)Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” 17 As he said these things, (R)all his adversaries were put to shame, and (S)all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.

The Mustard Seed and the Leaven

18 (T)He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like (U)a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden, and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.”

20 And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21 (V)It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in (W)three measures of flour, until it was (X)all leavened.”

The Narrow Door

22 (Y)He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and (Z)journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 And someone said to him, “Lord, (AA)will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, 24 (AB)“Strive (AC)to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 (AD)When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, (AE)‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, (AF)‘I do not know where you come from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, (AG)‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 But he will say, ‘I tell you, (AH)I do not know where you come from. (AI)Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ 28 (AJ)In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see (AK)Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but (AL)you yourselves cast out. 29 And (AM)people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and (AN)recline at table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, (AO)some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

Lament over Jerusalem

31 At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from (AP)here, for (AQ)Herod wants to kill you.” 32 And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day (AR)I finish my course. 33 Nevertheless, (AS)I (AT)must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that (AU)a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ 34 (AV)O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that (AW)kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! (AX)How often would I have (AY)gathered (AZ)your children together (BA)as a hen gathers her brood (BB)under her wings, and (BC)you were not willing! 35 Behold, (BD)your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, (BE)‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Repent or Perish

13 Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate(A) had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?(B) I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam(C) fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you, no! But unless you repent,(D) you too will all perish.”

Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.(E) So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down!(F) Why should it use up the soil?’

“‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”

Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman on the Sabbath

10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,(G) 11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years.(H) She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 13 Then he put his hands on her,(I) and immediately she straightened up and praised God.

14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath,(J) the synagogue leader(K) said to the people, “There are six days for work.(L) So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

15 The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?(M) 16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham,(N) whom Satan(O) has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”

17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated,(P) but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast(Q)(R)

18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God(S) like?(T) What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree,(U) and the birds perched in its branches.”(V)

20 Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”(W)

The Narrow Door

22 Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.(X) 23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”

He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door,(Y) because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’

“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’(Z)

26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’

27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’(AA)

28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth,(AB) when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west(AC) and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.”(AD)

Jesus’ Sorrow for Jerusalem(AE)(AF)

31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod(AG) wants to kill you.”

32 He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’(AH) 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet(AI) can die outside Jerusalem!

34 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,(AJ) and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate.(AK) I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’[b](AL)

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!’
