Luke 13:2-12

2 And Jesus said to them, "¹Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?

3 "I tell you, no, but unless * you repent, you will all likewise perish.

4 "Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in ²Siloam fell and killed them were worse ³culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?

5 "I tell you, no, but unless * you repent, you will all likewise perish."

6 And He began telling this parable: "A man had ⁴a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

7 "And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without * finding any. ⁵Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?'

8 "And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

9 and if it bears fruit next * year, fine; but if not, cut it down.' "
