Luke 13:1-9

1There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus answering said to them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?1 5I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

6He spoke also this parable; A certainmanhad a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none. 7Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8And he answering said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it : 9And if it shall bear fruit, well : and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
