Evanðelje po Luki 13
Isus poziva na obraćenje
1 Tada 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?3 Nipošto! Kažem vam, i vi ćete tako izginuti ako se ne obratite!4 A ona osamnaestorica na koje se srušila kula u Siloamu i ubila ih? Jesu li oni bili grešniji od svih stanovnika Jeruzalema?
5 Nipošto. Kažem vam, svi ćete tako izginuti ako se ne obratite."
Prispodoba o neplodnoj smokvi
6 Ispriča im zatim prispodobu: "Imao neki čovjek u vinogradu zasađenu smokvu. Dolazio je vidjeti je li rodila, ali nije na njoj našao roda.
7 Reče zato vinogradaru: "Već tri godine dolazim tražiti roda na ovoj smokvi, ali ga ne nalazim. Posijeci ju. Zašto da iscrpljuje zemlju!"
8 Vinogradar odgovori: "Gospodaru, ostavi ju još ove godine, a ja ću ju okopati i pognojiti.
9 Možda će nagodinu ipak roditi. Ako ne, posjeći ćeš ju."
Isus iscjeljuje u subotu
10 Dok je Isus u subotu poučavao u sinagogi,11 bila je ondje žena koja je osamnaest godina bila zgrbljena i nije se mogla uspraviti. Bila je, naime, opsjednuta duhom.12 Kad ju Isus opazi, pozove ju i reče joj: "Ženo, oslobođena si od svoje bolesti!"
13 te položi na nju ruke. Žena se smjesta uspravi i počne slaviti Boga.
14 Ali 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!"15 Isus 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?16 Nije li onda trebalo, iako je subota, odriješiti ovu kćer Abrahamovu spona kojima ju je Sotona držao vezanu osamnaest godina?"
17 Nato se njegovi neprijatelji posrame, a sav narod radovao se čudesima koja je Isus učinio.
Prispodoba o gorušičinu sjemenu
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
20 Upita opet: "Kako da vam još opišem Božje kraljevstvo?
21 Ono je poput kvasca koji žena umijesi u golemu količinu brašna, a on ipak sve ukvasi."
Uska vrata
22 Putujući u Jeruzalem, Isus je prolazio gradovima i selima i putem poučavao.
23 Netko 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.25 Kad gospodar kuće zaključa vrata, bit će prekasno. Tada ćete stajati vani i kucati ištući: 'Gospodine, otvori nam!' ali on će odgovoriti: 'Ne poznajem vas.'26 Onda ćete početi govoriti: 'Ali mi smo s tobom jeli i pili, poučavao si po našim trgovima!'
27 A on će vam odgovoriti: 'Kažem vam da vas ne poznajem. Odlazite od mene, svi zlotvori!'
28 Bit će velikog plača i škrguta zubi kad ugledate Abrahama, Izaka i Jakova i sve proroke u kraljevstvu Božjemu, a vi ćete biti izbačeni.29 Tada će ljudi odasvud, s istoka i zapada, sa sjevera i juga, doći sjesti za stol u Božjemu kraljevstvu.
30 Mnogi koji su sada prvi tada će biti na zadnjemu mjestu, a mnogi koje ovdje smatraju zadnjima ondje će biti najveći."
Isus tuži nad Jeruzalemom
31 Odmah zatim neki mu farizeji dođu reći: "Otiđi odavde jer te Herod hoće ubiti!"32 On im reče: "Idite i recite toj lisici da ću ja izgoniti zloduhe i iscjeljivati danas i sutra, a trećega ću dana završiti što imam.
33 Danas, sutra i prekosutra valja mi nastaviti put jer ne priliči da prorok bude ubijen izvan Jeruzalema.
34 Jeruzaleme, 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!
35 A sada će ti, eto, kuća biti napuštena. I kažem vam, nećete me više vidjeti sve dok ne uzviknete: 'Dobro nam došao onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje!'"
Luke 13
A Call to Repent
1 Nowt there were some present on that occasion who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.s2 Het answered them, “Do you think these Galileans were worse sinnerss than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?3 No, I tell you! But unless you repent,s you will all perish as well!t4 Or those eighteen who were killedt when the tower in Siloam fell on them,s do you think they were worse offenders than all the others who live in Jerusalem?s
5 No, I tell you! But unless you repents you will all perish as well!”t
Warning to Israel to Bear Fruit
6 Thent Jesust told this parable: “A man had a fig trees planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.7 Sot he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, ‘Fort three yearss now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect itt I find none. Cuts it down! Whyt should it continue to depletes the soil?’8 But the workert answered him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year too, until I dig around it and put fertilizert on it.
9 Then ift it bears fruit next year,t very well,t but ift not, you can cut it down.’”
Healing on the Sabbath
10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagoguess on the Sabbath,11 and a woman was theret who had been disabled by a spiritt for eighteen years. Shet was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely.t12 Whent Jesus saw her, he called her to himt and said, “Woman,s you are freedt from your infirmity.”t13 Thent he placed his hands on her, and immediatelys she straightened up and praised God.14 But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which works should be done!t So comet and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.”15 Then the Lord answered him,t “You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from its stall,t and lead it to water?s16 Thent shouldn’tt this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satans bound for eighteen longt years, be released from this imprisonmentt on the Sabbath day?”
17 Whent he said this all his adversaries were humiliated,t butt the entire crowd was rejoicing at all the wonderful thingss he was doing.t
On the Kingdom of God
18 Thus Jesust asked,t “What is the kingdom of Gods like?s Tot what should I compare it?
19 It is like a mustard seeds that a man took and sowedt in his garden. Itt grew and became a tree,s and the wild birdst nested in its branches.”s
20 Againt he said, “To what should I compare the kingdom of God?s
21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed witht three measuress of flour until all the dough had risen.”ts
The Narrow Door
22 Thent Jesust traveled throughoutt townst and villages, teaching and making his way towardt Jerusalem.s23 Someonet askedt him, “Lord, will only a fews be saved?” Sot he said to them,24 “Exert every effortt to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.25 Oncet the head of the houset gets upt and shuts the door, then you will stand outside and start to knock on the door and beg him, ‘Lord,t let us in!’t But he will answer you,t ‘I don’t know where you come from.’s26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’s27 Butt he will reply,st ‘I don’t know where you come from!s Go away from me, all you evildoers!’t28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeths when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,t and all the prophets in the kingdom of Gods but you yourselves thrown out.t29 Thent peoplet will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet tablet in the kingdom of God.s
30 Butt indeed,t some are lasts who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”
Going to Jerusalem
31 At that time,t some Phariseess came up and said to Jesus,t “Get away from here,t because Herods wants to kill you.”32 Butt he said to them, “Got and tell that fox,s ‘Look, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third days I will complete my work.t33 Nevertheless I mustt go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, because it is impossiblet that a prophet should be killedt outside Jerusalem.’ss34 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,s you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you!t How often I have longeds to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, butt you would have none of it!t
35 Look, your house is forsaken!s And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”s
