1Es waren aber zu der Zeit einige da, die berichteten Jesus von den Galiläern, deren Blut Pilatus mit ihren Opfern vermischt hatte.2Und er antwortete und sprach zu ihnen: Meint ihr, dass diese Galiläer mehr gesündigt haben als alle andern Galiläer, weil sie das erlitten haben? (Joh 9,2)3Ich sage euch: Nein; sondern wenn ihr nicht Buße tut, werdet ihr alle ebenso umkommen.4Oder meint ihr, dass die achtzehn, auf die der Turm von Siloah fiel und erschlug sie, schuldiger gewesen seien als alle andern Menschen, die in Jerusalem wohnen?5Ich sage euch: Nein; sondern wenn ihr nicht Buße tut, werdet ihr alle ebenso umkommen.
Das Gleichnis vom Feigenbaum
6Er sagte ihnen aber dies Gleichnis: Es hatte einer einen Feigenbaum, der war gepflanzt in seinem Weinberg, und er kam und suchte Frucht darauf und fand keine. (Jes 5,1; Mt 21,19)7Da sprach er zu dem Weingärtner: Siehe, drei Jahre komme ich und suche Frucht an diesem Feigenbaum und finde keine. So hau ihn ab! Was nimmt er dem Boden die Kraft? (Mk 11,13)8Er aber antwortete und sprach zu ihm: Herr, lass ihn noch dies Jahr, bis ich um ihn herum grabe und ihn dünge; (2Petr 3,9; 2Petr 3,15)9vielleicht bringt er doch noch Frucht; wenn aber nicht, so hau ihn ab. (Lk 3,9)
Die Heilung einer verkrümmten Frau am Sabbat
10Und er lehrte in einer Synagoge am Sabbat. (Lk 6,6)11Und siehe, eine Frau war da, die hatte seit achtzehn Jahren einen Geist, der sie krank machte; und sie war verkrümmt und konnte sich nicht mehr aufrichten.12Als aber Jesus sie sah, rief er sie zu sich und sprach zu ihr: Frau, du bist erlöst von deiner Krankheit!13Und legte die Hände auf sie; und sogleich richtete sie sich auf und pries Gott. (Lk 4,40)14Da antwortete der Vorsteher der Synagoge, denn er war unwillig, dass Jesus am Sabbat heilte, und sprach zu dem Volk: Es sind sechs Tage, an denen man arbeiten soll; an denen kommt und lasst euch heilen, aber nicht am Sabbattag. (2Mo 20,9; 5Mo 5,12)15Da antwortete ihm der Herr und sprach: Ihr Heuchler! Bindet nicht jeder von euch am Sabbat seinen Ochsen oder Esel von der Krippe los und führt ihn zur Tränke? (Lk 14,5)16Musste dann nicht diese, die doch eine Tochter Abrahams ist, die der Satan schon achtzehn Jahre gebunden hatte, am Sabbat von dieser Fessel gelöst werden? (Lk 19,9)17Und als er das sagte, schämten sich alle, die gegen ihn waren. Und alles Volk freute sich über alle herrlichen Taten, die durch ihn geschahen.
Vom Senfkorn und vom Sauerteig
18Da sprach er: Wem gleicht das Reich Gottes, und womit soll ich’s vergleichen? (Mt 13,31; Mk 4,30)19Es gleicht einem Senfkorn, das ein Mensch nahm und warf’s in seinen Garten; und es wuchs und wurde ein Baum, und die Vögel des Himmels wohnten in seinen Zweigen. (Hes 17,22)20Und wiederum sprach er: Womit soll ich das Reich Gottes vergleichen?21Es gleicht einem Sauerteig, den eine Frau nahm und unter drei Scheffel Mehl mengte, bis es ganz durchsäuert war.
Die enge Pforte und die verschlossene Tür
22Und er ging durch Städte und Dörfer und lehrte und nahm seinen Weg nach Jerusalem. (Lk 9,51)23Es sprach aber einer zu ihm: Herr, meinst du, dass nur wenige selig werden? Er aber sprach zu ihnen:24Ringt darum, dass ihr durch die enge Pforte hineingeht; denn viele, das sage ich euch, werden danach trachten, dass sie hineinkommen, und werden’s nicht können. (Mt 7,13)25Sobald der Hausherr aufgestanden ist und die Tür verschlossen hat und ihr anfangt, draußen zu stehen und an die Tür zu klopfen und zu sagen: Herr, tu uns auf!, dann wird er antworten und zu euch sagen: Ich weiß nicht, wo ihr her seid. (Mt 25,11)26Dann werdet ihr anfangen zu sagen: Wir haben vor dir gegessen und getrunken, und auf unsern Straßen hast du gelehrt. (Mt 7,22)27Und er wird zu euch sagen: Ich weiß nicht, wo ihr her seid. Weicht alle von mir, ihr Übeltäter! (Ps 6,9)28Da wird sein Heulen und Zähneklappern, wenn ihr sehen werdet Abraham, Isaak und Jakob und alle Propheten im Reich Gottes, euch aber hinausgestoßen. (Mt 8,11)29Und es werden kommen von Osten und von Westen, von Norden und von Süden, die zu Tisch sitzen werden im Reich Gottes. (Ps 107,3; Jes 43,5; Jes 49,12; Lk 14,15)30Und siehe, es sind Letzte, die werden die Ersten sein, und sind Erste, die werden die Letzten sein. (Mt 19,30; Mt 20,16; Mk 10,31)
Die Feindschaft des Herodes Antipas
31Zu dieser Stunde kamen einige Pharisäer und sprachen zu ihm: Mach dich auf und geh weg von hier; denn Herodes will dich töten.32Und er sprach zu ihnen: Geht hin und sagt diesem Fuchs: Siehe, ich treibe Dämonen aus und mache gesund heute und morgen, und am dritten Tage werde ich vollendet.33Doch muss ich heute und morgen und am Tag danach wandern, denn es geht nicht an, dass ein Prophet umkomme außerhalb von Jerusalem.
Klage über Jerusalem
34Jerusalem, Jerusalem, die du tötest die Propheten und steinigst, die zu dir gesandt sind! Wie oft habe ich deine Kinder versammeln wollen wie eine Henne ihre Küken unter ihre Flügel, und ihr habt nicht gewollt! (Ps 91,4; Mt 23,37; Lk 19,41)35Seht, euer Haus wird euch allein überlassen. Ich sage euch: Ihr werdet mich nicht mehr sehen, bis die Zeit kommt, da ihr sagen werdet: Gelobt ist, der da kommt im Namen des Herrn! (Ps 69,26; Ps 118,26; Jer 22,5; Mt 21,9; Mk 11,9)
Lukas 13
English Standard Version
Repent or Perish
1There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. (Lk 3,1)2And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? (Hi 4,7; Joh 9,2; Apg 28,4)3No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. (Lk 5,32)4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? (Joh 9,7; Joh 9,11)5No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” (Lk 13,3)
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. (Jes 5,2; Mt 21,19; Mk 11,13)7And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ (Mt 7,19; Lk 3,9)8And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure.9Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”
A Woman with a Disabling Spirit
10Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. (Mt 4,23; Mk 6,2)11And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. (Lk 13,16; Apg 16,16)12When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.”13And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. (Mk 5,23; Lk 5,25; Lk 7,16; Lk 18,43)14But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” (2Mo 20,9; Hes 46,1; Mt 12,2; Lk 8,41)15Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? (Mt 12,11; Lk 14,5)16And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?” (1Chr 21,1; Lk 13,11; Lk 19,9; Apg 10,38; 1Kor 5,5; 2Kor 12,7)17As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him. (Ps 132,18; Lk 18,43; 1Petr 3,16)
The Mustard Seed and the Leaven
18He said therefore, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? (Mt 13,31; Mk 4,30)19It is like 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.” (Mt 17,20; Lk 17,6)20And again he said, “To what shall I compare the kingdom of God?21It is like leaven that a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.” (1Mo 18,6; Mt 13,33; 1Kor 5,6; Gal 5,9)
The Narrow Door
22He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. (Mk 6,6; Lk 9,51; Lk 13,33)23And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, (Apg 2,47; 1Kor 1,18; 2Kor 2,15)24“Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. (Mt 7,13; 1Kor 9,25; 1Tim 4,10; 1Tim 6,12; Hebr 12,4)25When 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, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ (Mt 7,22; Mt 10,33; Mt 25,10; Mt 25,12; 2Tim 2,19)26Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ (2Mo 24,11)27But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ (Ps 6,8; Lk 13,25)28In that place 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 but you yourselves cast out. (Mt 8,11)29And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. (Lk 13,28; Lk 14,15; Lk 22,30)30And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” (Mt 19,30)
Lament over Jerusalem
31At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” (Mt 19,1; Mk 10,1; Lk 3,1)32And 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. (Hebr 2,10; Hebr 5,9; Hebr 7,28)33Nevertheless, 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.’ (Mt 21,11; Joh 11,9; Apg 3,21; Apg 17,3)34O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! (5Mo 32,11; Rut 2,12; Ps 147,2; Spr 1,24; Mt 21,35; Mt 23,37; Mt 26,55; Lk 19,41; Lk 23,28; Joh 5,40)35Behold, 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!’” (Ps 118,26; Jes 64,11; Jer 12,7; Jer 22,5; Lk 19,38)
Lukas 13
King James Version
1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.2And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.4Or 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?5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.6He 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.7Then 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?8And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:9And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.10And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.11And, 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.12And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.13And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.14And 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.15The 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?16And 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?17And 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.18Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?19It 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.20And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?21It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.22And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.23Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.25When 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:26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.28There 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.29And 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.30And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.31The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.32And 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.33Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.34O 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!35Behold, 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.
Lukas 13
New International Version
Repent or perish
1Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.2Jesus answered, ‘Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way?3I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.4Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them – do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?5I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.’6Then 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.7So 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! Why should it use up the soil?”8‘ “Sir,” the man replied, “leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig round it and fertilise it.9If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.” ’
Jesus heals a crippled woman on the Sabbath
10On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,11and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.12When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, ‘Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.’13Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.14Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, ‘There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.’15The 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?16Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?’17When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.
The parables of the mustard seed and the yeast
18Then Jesus asked, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?19It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.’20Again he asked, ‘What shall I compare the kingdom of God to?21It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about thirty kilograms of flour until it worked all through the dough.’
The narrow door
22Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem.23Someone 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, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.25Once 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.”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!”28‘There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.29People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God.30Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.’
Jesus’ sorrow for Jerusalem
31At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.’32He replied, ‘Go and 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.”33In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day – for surely no prophet 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, and you were not willing.35Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” ’ (Ps 118,26)
