The Good News According to Luke
Chapter Thirteen
13.6-9
Jesus said, "A certain man had a fig tree growing in his
vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to
the man who pruned the vines, 'This is the third year I've come looking
for fruit on this tree. I haven't found any, so cut it down. Why should it
take the goodness out of the ground?'
"In reply the man said, 'Sir, leave it for this
year, then I can cultivate and manure it. Perhaps it will yield next year.
But if it doesn't we can get on and cut it down.'"
13.18-19
Jesus said, "How does God do things? How does it look? It's something
like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his garden. It grew into
a tree and 'The birds of the air roosted in its branches.'"
13.20-21
Jesus said, "What comes into mind when we think of how God
works? It's like yeast which a woman took and mixed into three measures
of flour until the whole lot was leavened."
13.24, 30
Jesus said, "Strive to enter through the narrow doorway. I say to you that
many people will long to get in but won't be able to. Keep in mind that
there are those who will come first and yet be last; and there are those
who will be last and yet come first."
