Luke 13:1-9

1Now there were some present at the same time who told Yeshua about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2He answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans are worse sinners than the rest of the Galileans because they have suffered these things?

3No, I tell you! But unless you repent, you all will perish the same way.

4“Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and were killed, do you suppose that they are worse sinners than all the people living in Jerusalem?

5No, I tell you! But unless you repent, you all will perish the same way.

6Then Yeshua began telling this parable: “A man had a fig tree he had planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

7So he said to the gardener, ‘Indeed, for three years I‘ve come searching for fruit on this fig tree and found none. Remove it! Why does it use up the ground?’

8“But answering, the gardener said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer.

9And if it bears fruit, good. But if not, cut it down.’”
