Lucas 13
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Arrepiéntanse o perecerán
13 En ese momento estaban allí algunos que le contaron a Jesús el caso de los galileos cuya sangre Pilato había mezclado con los sacrificios que ellos ofrecían. 2 Jesús les dijo: «¿Y creen ustedes que esos galileos eran más pecadores que el resto de los galileos, sólo porque padecieron así? 3 ¡Pues yo les digo que no! Y si ustedes no se arrepienten, también morirán como ellos. 4 Y en el caso de los dieciocho, que murieron aplastados al derrumbarse la torre de Siloé, ¿creen ustedes que ellos eran más culpables que el resto de los habitantes de Jerusalén? 5 ¡Pues yo les digo que no! Y si ustedes no se arrepienten, también morirán como ellos.»
Parábola de la higuera estéril
6 También les dijo esta parábola: «Un hombre había plantado una higuera en su viña, y cuando fue a buscar higos en ella no encontró ninguno. 7 Entonces le dijo al viñador: “Hace tres años que vengo a buscar higos en esta higuera, y nunca encuentro uno solo. ¡Córtala, para que no se desaproveche también la tierra!” 8 Pero el viñador le dijo: “Señor, déjala todavía un año más, hasta que yo le afloje la tierra y la abone. 9 Si da fruto, qué bueno. Y si no, córtala entonces.”»
Jesús sana a una mujer en el día de reposo
10 Un día de reposo, Jesús estaba enseñando en una sinagoga, 11 y allí estaba una mujer que hacía ya dieciocho años sufría de un espíritu de enfermedad. Andaba encorvada, y de ninguna manera podía enderezarse. 12 Cuando Jesús la vio, la llamó y le dijo: «Mujer, quedas libre de tu enfermedad.» 13 Y en el mismo instante en que Jesús puso las manos sobre ella, la mujer se enderezó y comenzó a glorificar a Dios. 14 Pero el jefe de la sinagoga se enojó porque Jesús la había sanado en el día de reposo, así que le dijo a la gente: «Hay seis días en los que se puede trabajar. Para ser sanados, vengan en esos días; pero no en el día de reposo.»(A) 15 Entonces el Señor le dijo: «Hipócrita, ¿acaso cualquiera de ustedes no desata su buey, o su asno, del pesebre y lo lleva a beber, aun cuando sea día de reposo? 16 Y a esta hija de Abrahán, que Satanás había tenido atada durante dieciocho años, ¿no se le habría de liberar, aunque hoy sea día de reposo?» 17 Ante estos razonamientos de Jesús, todos sus adversarios quedaron avergonzados, pero todo el pueblo se alegraba de las muchas maravillas que él realizaba.
Parábola de la semilla de mostaza(B)
18 Jesús dijo también: «¿Semejante a qué es el reino de Dios? ¿Con qué lo compararé? 19 Pues es semejante al grano de mostaza que alguien toma y siembra en su huerto, y ese grano crece hasta convertirse en un gran árbol, en cuyas ramas ponen su nido las aves del cielo.»
Parábola de la levadura(C)
20 Y volvió a decir: «¿Con qué compararé el reino de Dios? 21 Pues es semejante a la levadura que una mujer toma y guarda en tres medidas de harina, hasta que toda la masa fermenta.»
La puerta estrecha(D)
22 En su camino a Jerusalén, Jesús iba enseñando por ciudades y aldeas. 23 Alguien le preguntó: «Señor, ¿son pocos los que se salvan?» Y él respondió: 24 «Hagan todo lo posible para entrar por la puerta angosta, porque yo les digo que muchos tratarán de entrar y no podrán hacerlo. 25 En cuanto el padre de familia se levante y cierre la puerta, y ustedes desde afuera comiencen a golpear la puerta y a gritar: “¡Señor, Señor; ábrenos!”, él les responderá: “No sé de dónde salieron ustedes.” 26 Entonces ustedes comenzarán a decir: “Hemos comido y bebido en tu compañía, y tú has enseñado en nuestras plazas.” 27 Pero él les responderá: “No sé de dónde salieron ustedes. ¡Apártense de mí todos ustedes, hacedores de injusticia!”(E) 28 Allí habrá entonces llanto y rechinar de dientes,(F) cuando vean a Abrahán, Isaac y Jacob, y a todos los profetas, en el reino de Dios, mientras que ustedes son expulsados. 29 Porque habrá quienes vengan del oriente y del occidente, del norte y del sur, para sentarse a la mesa en el reino de Dios.(G) 30 Pero habrá algunos últimos que serán primeros, y algunos primeros que serán últimos.»(H)
Lamento de Jesús sobre Jerusalén(I)
31 En ese preciso momento llegaron algunos fariseos, y le dijeron: «Vete de aquí, porque Herodes te quiere matar.» 32 Jesús les dijo: «Vayan y díganle a ese zorro: “Mira, hoy y mañana voy a expulsar demonios y a sanar enfermos, y al tercer día terminaré mi obra.” 33 Pero es necesario que hoy, mañana, y pasado mañana, siga mi camino, porque no puede ser que un profeta muera fuera de Jerusalén. 34 ¡Jerusalén, Jerusalén, que matas a los profetas y apedreas a los que son enviados a ti! ¡Cuántas veces quise juntar a tus hijos, como junta la gallina a sus polluelos debajo de sus alas, y no quisiste! 35 Pues bien, la casa de ustedes va a quedar desolada; y les digo que ustedes no volverán a verme hasta el día en que digan: “¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor!”»(J)
Luke 13
New King James Version
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. 2 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? 3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. 4 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? 5 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.”
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6 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. 7 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?’ 8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 [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!’ ”

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!’”
