Lucas 13
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Arrepiéntanse o perecerán
13 En esa misma ocasión había allí algunos que contaron a Jesús acerca de los galileos cuya sangre Pilato(A) había mezclado[a] con la de sus sacrificios. 2 Él les respondió: «¿Piensan que estos galileos eran más pecadores(B)que todos los demás galileos, porque sufrieron esto? 3 Les digo que no; al contrario, si ustedes no se arrepienten, todos perecerán igualmente. 4 ¿O piensan 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? 5 Les digo que no; al contrario, si ustedes no se arrepienten, todos perecerán igualmente».
Parábola de la higuera estéril
6 Entonces Jesús 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). 7 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?”. 8 El viñador le respondió: “Señor, déjala por este año todavía, hasta que yo cave alrededor de ella, y le eche abono, 9 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 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[c] a la multitud: «Hay seis días en los cuales se debe trabajar(M); vengan, pues, en esos días y sean sanados, y no en día de reposo».
15 Entonces el Señor(N) le respondió: «Hipócritas, ¿no desata cada uno de ustedes 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 el día de reposo?».
17 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 Jesús (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 (39 litros) 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 Alguien le preguntó: «Señor, ¿son pocos los que se salvan?». Y Él les dijo:
24 «Esfuércense por entrar por la puerta estrecha(X) , porque les 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 ustedes, estando fuera, comiencen a llamar a la puerta, diciendo: “Señor, ábrenos(Z)”. Él respondiendo, les dirá: “No sé de dónde son(AA)”. 26 Entonces comenzarán a decir(AB): “Comimos y bebimos en Tu presencia, y enseñaste en nuestras calles”; 27 y Él dirá: “Les digo que no sé de dónde son(AC); apártense de Mí, todos los que hacen iniquidad(AD)”.
28 »Allí será el llanto y el crujir de dientes(AE) cuando vean a Abraham, a Isaac, a Jacob y a todos los profetas en el reino de Dios, pero ustedes echados fuera. 29 Y vendrán del oriente y del occidente, del norte y del sur, y se sentarán[d]a la mesa en el reino de Dios(AF). 30 Por tanto, hay últimos que serán primeros, y hay primeros que serán últimos(AG)».
Lamento sobre Jerusalén
31 En ese momento llegaron unos fariseos y dijeron a Jesús: «Sal y vete de aquí, porque Herodes(AH) te quiere matar». 32 Y Él les dijo: «Vayan y díganle a ese zorro: “Yo expulso demonios, y hago curaciones hoy y mañana, y al tercer día cumplo Mi propósito[e](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 Por tanto, la casa de ustedes se les deja desierta[f]; y les digo que no me verán más, hasta que llegue el tiempo en que digan: “Bendito el que viene en nombre del Señor(AN)”».
Luke 13
English Standard Version
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. 2 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? 3 No, I tell you; but unless you (C)repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 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? 5 No, I tell you; but unless you (E)repent, you will all likewise perish.”
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6 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. 7 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?’ 8 And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. 9 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!’”
Luke 13
King James Version
13 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 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?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
6 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.
7 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?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9 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.
