1About this same time Jesus was told that Pilate had given orders for some people from Galilee to be killed while they were offering sacrifices.
2Jesus replied:
6Jesus then told them this story:
10One Sabbath, Jesus was teaching in a synagogue,
11and a woman was there who had been crippled by an evil spirit for 18 years. She was completely bent over and could not straighten up.
12When Jesus saw the woman, he called her over and said, “You are now well.”
13He placed his hands on her, and at once she stood up straight and praised God.
14The man in charge of the synagogue was angry because Jesus had healed someone on the Sabbath. So he said to the people, “Each week has six days when we can work. Come and be healed on one of those days, but not on the Sabbath.”[#Ex 20.9,10; Dt 5.13,14.]
15The Lord replied, “Are you trying to fool someone? Won't any one of you untie your ox or donkey and lead it out to drink on a Sabbath?
16This woman belongs to the family of Abraham, but Satan has kept her bound for 18 years. Isn't it right to set her free on the Sabbath?”
17Jesus' words made his enemies ashamed. But everyone else in the crowd was happy about the wonderful things he was doing.
18Jesus said, “What is God's kingdom like? What can I compare it with?
19It is like what happens when someone plants a mustard seed in a garden. The seed grows as big as a tree, and birds nest in its branches.”
20Then Jesus said, “What can I compare God's kingdom with?
21It is like what happens when a woman mixes yeast into three batches of flour. Finally, all the dough rises.”
22As Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he taught the people in the towns and villages.
23Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
Jesus answered:
31At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, “You had better get away from here, because Herod wants to kill you!”[#13.31 Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great.]
32Jesus said to them:
“Blessed is the one who comes
in the name of the Lord.”
