During his journey he gave the parable of the good Samaritan— Luke 10:25–37 ; taught the disciples how to pray— Luke 11:1–13 ; healed a man blind, dumb and possessed— Matthew 12:22–23 ; Luke 11:14 ; pronounced woe upon the Pharisees— Luke 11:37–44 ; gave the parable of the rich fool— Luke 12:13–21 ; gave the parable of the barren fig tree— Luke 13:6–9 ; healed an infirm woman upon the Sabbath— Luke 13:10–17 ; gave the parable of the mustard seed and the leaven— Luke 13:18–21 ; goes on teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem and is warned against Herod.
