Luke 13 – NIV & CRO

New International Version

Luke 13:1-35

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 around it and fertilize 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 sixty pounds13:21 Or about 27 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 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.’13:35 Psalm 118:26

Knijga O Kristu

Luka 13:1-35

Isus poziva na obraćenje

1Tada Isusa obavijeste da je Pilat dao smaknuti neke Galilejce dok su prinosili žrtve u jeruzalemskome Hramu. 2“Mislite li da su ti Galilejci koji su nastradali bili veći grešnici od ostalih Galilejaca? 3Nipošto! Kažem vam, i vi ćete tako izginuti ako se ne obratite! 4Ili onih osamnaest na koje se srušila kula u Siloamu i ubila ih, zar mislite da su oni bili grešniji od svih stanovnika Jeruzalema? 5Nipošto. Kažem vam, svi ćete tako izginuti ako se ne obratite.”

Prispodoba o neplodnoj smokvi

6Ispriča im zatim prispodobu: “Imao neki čovjek u vinogradu zasađenu smokvu. Dolazio je vidjeti je li rodila, ali nije na njoj našao roda. 7Reče zato vinogradaru: ‘Već tri godine dolazim tražiti roda na ovoj smokvi, ali ga ne nalazim. Posijeci ju. Zašto da iscrpljuje zemlju!’

8Vinogradar odgovori: ‘Gospodaru, ostavi ju još ove godine, a ja ću ju okopati i pognojiti. 9Možda će nagodinu ipak roditi. Ako ne, posjeći ćeš ju.’”

Isus iscjeljuje u subotu

10Dok je Isus u subotu poučavao u sinagogi, 11bila je ondje žena koja je osamnaest godina bila zgrbljena i nije se mogla uspraviti. Bila je, naime, opsjednuta duhom. 12Kad ju Isus opazi, pozove ju i reče joj: “Ženo, oslobođena si od svoje bolesti!” 13te položi na nju ruke. Žena se smjesta uspravi i počne slaviti Boga.

14Ali nadstojnik sinagoge, srdit što ju je Isus izliječio u subotu, reče narodu: “Šest dana u tjednu treba raditi. U te se dane dakle dolazite liječiti, a ne subotom!”

15Isus mu odgovori: “Licemjeri! I vi radite subotom. Ne odveže li subotom svatko od vas svojega vola ili magarca od jasala i ne odvede li ga na vodu piti? 16Nije li onda trebalo, iako je subota, odriješiti ovu kćer Abrahamovu spona kojima ju je Sotona držao vezanu osamnaest godina?” 17Nato se njegovi neprijatelji posrame, a sav narod radovao se čudesima koja je Isus učinio.

Prispodoba o gorušičinu sjemenu

(Mt 13:31-32; Mk 4:30-32)

18“Kako da vam još opišem Božje kraljevstvo? S čime da ga usporedim?” reče Isus. 19“S njim je kao s gorušičinim sjemenom koje čovjek baci u svoj vrt. Ono izraste i razvije se u stablo te se ptice nebeske dolaze gnijezditi u njegovim granama.”

Prispodoba o kvascu

20Upita opet: “Kako da vam još opišem Božje kraljevstvo? 21Ono je poput kvasca koji žena umijesi u golemu količinu brašna,13:21 U grčkome: tri mjere (otprilike 20 kilograma). a on ipak sve ukvasi.”

Uska vrata

(Mt 7:13-14, 22-23; 8:11-12)

22Putujući u Jeruzalem, Isus je prolazio gradovima i selima i putem poučavao. 23Netko ga upita: “Gospodine, je li malo onih koji se spašavaju?”

24“Vrata neba su uska”, odgovori Isus. “Trudite se da uđete kroz njih jer će mnogi željeti ući, ali neće moći. 25Kad gospodar kuće zaključa vrata, bit će prekasno. Tada ćete stajati vani i kucati ištući: ‘Gospodine, otvori nam!’ ali on će odgovoriti: ‘Ne znam vas odakle ste.’

26Onda ćete početi govoriti: ‘Ali mi smo s tobom jeli i pili, poučavao si po našim trgovima!’

27A on će vam odgovoriti: ‘Kažem vam da vas ne poznajem. Odlazite od mene, svi zlotvori!’

28Bit će velikog plača i škrguta zubi kad ugledate Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova i sve proroke u kraljevstvu Božjemu, a vi ćete biti izbačeni. 29Tada će ljudi odasvud, s istoka i zapada, sa sjevera i juga, doći sjesti u Božjemu kraljevstvu. 30Oni koji su sada prvi tada će biti na zadnjemu mjestu, a oni koje ovdje smatraju zadnjima ondje će biti najveći.”13:30 U grčkome: Mnogi prvi bit će zadnji, a zadnji prvi.

Isus tuži nad Jeruzalemom

(Mt 23:37-39)

31Odmah zatim neki mu farizeji dođu reći: “Otiđi odavde jer te Herod hoće ubiti!”

32On im reče: “Idite i recite toj lisici da ću ja izgoniti zloduhe i iscjeljivati danas i sutra, a trećega ću dana završiti što imam. 33Danas, sutra i prekosutra valja mi nastaviti put jer ne priliči da prorok bude ubijen izvan Jeruzalema.

34Jeruzaleme, Jeruzaleme, koji ubijaš proroke i kamenuješ Božje poslanike! Koliko sam puta htio okupiti tvoju djecu kao što kvočka skuplja piliće pod krila, ali niste htjeli! 35A sada će ti, eto, kuća biti napuštena. I kažem vam, nećete me više vidjeti sve dok ne uzviknete: ‘Blagoslovljen koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje!’”13:35 Vidjetii Psalam 118:26.
