In this chapter, we see several important moments in Christ’s ministry.
1. He makes good use of news brought to him about some Galileans. These people had been murdered by Pilate while they were offering sacrifices in the temple at Jerusalem, and Jesus uses the report to warn his hearers to repent (Luke 13:1-5).
2. He gives the parable of the fruitless fig tree. This warns us to bring forth the fruit that belongs to repentance, which he had just been urging in the previous passage (Luke 13:6-9).
3. He heals a poor woman who had been disabled for a long time on the Sabbath day, and he defends what he did (Luke 13:11-17).
4. He repeats the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven, teaching again how the kingdom of God grows and spreads (Luke 13:18-22).
5. He answers a question about how many will be saved, and his answer calls for serious thought (Luke 13:23-30).
6. He treats Herod’s threats with calm disregard, and he speaks the sentence of judgment against Jerusalem (Luke 13:31-35).
