Luke 13:1-8

1 There were present at that season * some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?

8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung * it:
