Why should it continue to deplete the soil?’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>But the worker answered him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year too, until I dig around it and put fertilizer on it. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then if it bears fruit next year, very well, but if not, you can cut it down.’”</p> <p class="title">Healing on the Sabbath</p><p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>and a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten herself up completely. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>When Jesus saw her, he called her to him and said, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then he placed his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which work should be done! So come and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Then the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites!

Go away from me, all you evildoers!’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves thrown out. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Then people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>But indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”</p> <p class="title">Going to Jerusalem</p><p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>At that time, some Pharisees came up and said to Jesus, “Get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you.” <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>But he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Look, I am casting out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete my work. <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>Nevertheless I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the next day, because it is impossible that a prophet should be killed outside Jerusalem.’ <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would have none of it! <span class="reftext"><a href="/luke/13-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>Look, your house is forsaken!
