Our gospel reading for this Third Sunday in Lent, comes from Luke, chapter 13, verses 1 through 9. In chapter 12 of Luke’s gospel, Jesus has been teaching, sometimes to a large crowd, and sometimes to a smaller group of disciples. Jesus has been teaching about the coming kingdom, and the end of days. In general, the message has been that the time is coming soon, and now is the time for repentance. In our reading, someone in the crowd tells Jesus about recent events, but Jesus continues to teach repentance and response to God’s grace. Listen to this reading from Luke, chapter 13.
