Repent or Perish
13 There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus? 3 I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Silo′am fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6 And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?’ 8 And he answered him, ‘Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure. 9 And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”
Jesus Heals a Crippled Woman
10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath. 11 And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years; she was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.” 13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was made straight, and she praised God. 14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days on 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! Does not each of you on the sabbath untie his ox or his ass from the manger, and lead it away to water it? 16 And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?” 17 As he said this, all his adversaries were put to shame; and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
18 He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a grain of mustard seed which 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.”
The Parable of the Yeast
20 And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened.”
The Narrow Door
22 He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 And some one said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, 24 “Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ He will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ 26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’ 28 There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out. 29 And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
The Lament over Jerusalem
31 At that very hour some Pharisees came, and said to him, “Get away from here, for 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 I finish my course. 33 Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish away from Jerusalem.’ 34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! 35 Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘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. 2 Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?(B) 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 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? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent,(D) you too will all perish.”
6 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) 7 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?’
8 “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 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)

Luke 13
New Matthew Bible
Of the Galileans whom Pilate slew, and of those that died in Siloam. The similitude of the fig tree. Christ heals the sick woman. The parables of the mustard seed and leaven. Few enter into the kingdom. Christ reproves Herod and Jerusalem.
13 There were present at that same time people who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with their own sacrifice. 2 And Jesus answered and said to them, Do you suppose these Galileans were greater sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such punishment? 3 I tell you no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them, do you think they were sinners above all who dwell in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
6 He put forth this similitude: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none. 7 Then he said to the dresser of his vineyard, Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down. Why is it taking up space on the ground? 8 And he answered and said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I dig round about it and dung it to see whether it will bear fruit. 9 And if it does not bear then, after that cut it down.
10 And he taught in one of their synagogues on the Sabbath days. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years, and was stooped over, and could not lift herself up at all. 12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him and said to her, Woman, you are delivered from your disease. 13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight and glorified God. 14 But the leader of the synagogue responded with indignation because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and he said to the people, There are six days in which men ought to work; in them come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.
15 Then the Lord answered him and said, Hypocrite, does not each one of you on the Sabbath day loose his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it to the water? 16 And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound now eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?
17 And when he said this, all his adversaries were ashamed. But all the people rejoiced for all the tremendous deeds that were done by him.
18 Then he said, What is the kingdom of God like? or to what shall I compare it? 19 Is is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his garden; and it grew, and developed into a great tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.
20 And again he said, To what may I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three bushels of flour until it was leavened right through.
22 And he went through all manner of cities and towns, teaching and journeying towards Jerusalem.
23 Then someone said to him, Lord, are there few that will be saved?
And he said to them, 24 Strive with yourselves to enter in at the strait gate. For many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able. 25 When the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door to, you all will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us! And he will answer and say to you, I know you not, where you are from. 26 Then you will begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets. 27 And he will say, I tell you, I do not know you, where you are from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!
28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out at the doors. 29 And people will come from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south, and will sit down in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.
31 That same day, certain of the Pharisees came and said to him, Get yourself out of the way, and depart from here, because Herod wants to kill you. 32 And he said to them, Go and tell that fox, behold, I cast out devils and heal the people today and tomorrow, and the third day I make an end of it. 33 Nevertheless, I must be going on my way today and tomorrow and the day following, for it cannot be that a prophet should perish anywhere other than at Jerusalem.
34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together, like the hen gathers her nest under her wings! But you would not. 35 Behold, your habitation shall be left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes that you say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Kailangan ng Pagsisisi
13 May ilang tao roon na nagbalita kay Jesus tungkol sa mga taga-Galileang ipinapatay ni Pilato habang naghahandog sila sa templo. 2 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang akala ba ninyo ay mas makasalanan sila kaysa sa ibang mga taga-Galilea dahil sa nangyari sa kanila? 3 Hindi! Ngunit tinitiyak ko sa inyo: mapapahamak din kayo tulad nila kung hindi nʼyo pagsisisihan ang mga kasalanan ninyo. 4 Katulad din ng 18 taong nabagsakan ng tore ng Siloam at namatay. Ang akala ba ninyo ay higit silang makasalanan kaysa sa ibang mga taga-Jerusalem? 5 Hindi! Ngunit tinitiyak ko sa inyo: mapapahamak din kayo tulad nila kung hindi nʼyo pagsisisihan ang mga kasalanan ninyo.”
Ang Punong Hindi Namumunga
6 Pagkatapos, ikinuwento ni Jesus ang talinghaga na ito: “May isang taong may tanim na puno ng igos[a] sa ubasan niya. Pinuntahan niya ito upang tingnan kung may bunga, pero wala siyang nakita. 7 Kaya sinabi niya sa tagapag-alaga ng kanyang ubasan, ‘Tatlong taon na akong pabalik-balik dito para tingnan kung may bunga na ang igos na ito, pero wala pa akong nakikita kahit isa. Putulin mo na lang ang punong iyan. Nasasayang lang ang lupang kinatatayuan niyan!’ 8 Pero sumagot ang tagapag-alaga, ‘Hayaan nʼyo na lang po muna ang puno sa taon na ito. Huhukayan ko po ang palibot nito at lalagyan ng pataba. 9 Baka sakaling magbunga sa darating na taon. Ngunit kung hindi pa rin, putulin na natin.’ ”
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Babaeng Baluktot ang Katawan
10 Isang Araw ng Pamamahinga, nagtuturo si Jesus sa sambahan ng mga Judio. 11 May isang babae roon na 18 taon nang may karamdaman dahil sa ginawa sa kanya ng masamang espiritu. Baluktot ang katawan niya at hindi ito maituwid. 12 Nang makita siya ni Jesus, tinawag siya at sinabi, “Babae, magaling ka na sa sakit mo.” 13 Pagkatapos, ipinatong niya ang mga kamay niya sa babae, at noon din ay naituwid ng babae ang kanyang katawan at nagpuri siya sa Dios. 14 Pero nagalit ang namumuno sa sambahan ng mga Judio dahil nagpagaling si Jesus sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. Sinabi niya sa mga tao, “May anim na araw kayo para magtrabaho. Sa mga araw na iyon kayo pumarito upang magpagaling, at huwag sa Araw ng Pamamahinga.” 15 Sinagot siya ni Jesus, “Mga pakitang-tao! Hindi baʼt kinakalagan ninyo ang inyong mga baka o asno at dinadala sa painuman kahit Araw ng Pamamahinga? 16 Kung sa mga hayop nga ay naaawa kayo, bakit hindi sa babaeng ito na mula rin sa lahi ni Abraham? 18 taon na siyang ginapos ni Satanas, kaya nararapat lang na palayain siya kahit na Araw ng Pamamahinga.” 17 Napahiya ang mga kumakalaban kay Jesus sa sinabi niyang ito. Natuwa naman ang mga tao sa mga kahanga-hangang bagay na ginawa ni Jesus.
Ang Paghahalintulad sa Buto ng Mustasa(A)
18 Nagpatuloy si Jesus sa pagtuturo niya, “Ano kaya ang katulad ng paghahari ng Dios? Sa ano ko kaya ito maihahambing? 19 Katulad ito ng isang buto ng mustasa[b] na itinanim ng isang tao sa kanyang taniman. Tumubo iyon at lumaki na parang punongkahoy ang taas, at pinamugaran ng mga ibon ang mga sanga nito.”
Ang Paghahalintulad sa Pampaalsa(B)
20 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Sa ano ko pa kaya maihahambing ang paghahari ng Dios? 21 Katulad ito ng pampaalsang inihalo ng isang babae sa malaking planggana ng harina, at napaalsa nito ang buong masa ng harina.”
Ang Makipot na Pintuan(C)
22 Nagpatuloy si Jesus sa paglalakbay niya papuntang Jerusalem. Dumaan siya sa mga bayan at nayon at nagturo sa mga tao roon. 23 May isang nagtanong sa kanya, “Panginoon, kakaunti po ba ang maliligtas?” Sumagot si Jesus, 24 “Pagsikapan ninyong makapasok sa makipot na pintuan. Tandaan ninyo: marami ang magsisikap na pumasok ngunit hindi makakapasok. 25 Kapag isinara na ng may-ari ang pinto, maiiwan kayo sa labas na nakatayo, kumakatok at tumatawag, ‘Panginoon, papasukin nʼyo po kami!’ Ngunit sasagutin niya kayo, ‘Hindi ko kayo kilala!’ 26 At sasabihin ninyo, ‘Nakasalo po ninyo kami sa pagkain at pag-inom, at nagturo po kayo sa mga lansangan sa bayan namin.’ 27 Sasagot naman siya, ‘Hindi ko kayo kilala. Lumayo kayo sa akin, kayong lahat na gumagawa ng masama!’ 28 Iiyak kayo at magngangalit ang inyong ngipin[c] kapag nakita ninyo sina Abraham, Isaac, Jacob at ang lahat ng propeta na napabilang sa paghahari ng Dios, habang kayo naman ay itinaboy sa labas.[d] 29 Makikita rin ninyo ang mga hindi Judio mula sa ibaʼt ibang dako[e] ng mundo na kasalo sa handaan ng paghahari ng Dios. 30 May mga hamak ngayon na magiging dakila, at may mga dakila ngayon na magiging hamak.”
Ang Pag-ibig ni Jesus sa mga Taga-Jerusalem(D)
31 Nang mga sandaling iyon, dumating ang ilang Pariseo at sinabi kay Jesus, “Umalis na po kayo rito dahil gusto kayong ipapatay ni Herodes.” 32 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sabihin ninyo sa asong-gubat[f] na iyon na patuloy akong magpapalayas ng masasamang espiritu at magpapagaling ng may sakit ngayon at hanggang bukas, at sa ikatlong araw ay tatapusin ko na ang gawain ko. 33 Basta kailangang ipagpatuloy ko ang aking paglalakbay ngayon, bukas at sa makalawa, dahil hindi dapat mamatay ang propeta sa labas ng Jerusalem.
34 “Kayong mga taga-Jerusalem, binabato ninyo at pinapatay ang mga propeta na isinugo ng Dios sa inyo. Maraming beses ko na kayong gustong tipunin at alagaan gaya ng isang inahing manok na nagtitipon ng kanyang mga sisiw sa ilalim ng kanyang mga pakpak, pero ayaw ninyo. 35 Kaya bahala na kayo sa sarili ninyo. Sapagkat hindi nʼyo na ako makikita hanggang sa dumating ang panahon na sabihin ninyo, ‘Pagpalain ang dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon.’ ”[g]
