Jerusalem
Today: Old City of Jerusalem
A city in the hills of Judea, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the Dead Sea and 35 miles (55 km) east of the Mediterranean.
David took it and made it his city (2 Sam 5:7); Solomon built the temple there (1 Kgs 8:1). Jesus was presented there, and the apostles' witness began from it (Luke 2:22; Acts 1:8).
The context
32And he said to them, “Go and tell that fox, ‘Look, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I am brought to completion.’

To study Luke 13 in a group
1. What it says
Jesus heals a bent-over woman on the Sabbath. What does the synagogue leader object to, and how does Jesus answer? (vv. 10-17)
2. What it means
In the parable of the fig tree, what does the vineyard worker ask of the owner, and why? What does that teach about patience? (vv. 6-9)
3. How I live it
Jesus speaks of the narrow door and of striving to enter (v. 24). What concrete effort is yours to make today?
