Luke 13:1-7

Repent or Perish

1 There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood ¹Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 And he answered them, ²"Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way?

3 No, I tell you; but unless you ³repent, you will all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in ⁴Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem?

5 No, I tell you; but unless you ⁵repent, you will all likewise perish."

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

6 And he told this parable: "A man had ⁶a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

7 And he said to the vinedresser, 'Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. ⁷Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?'
