Luke 13:1-8

1 There were present at that season some who told Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

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

3 I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all other men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."

6 He spoke also this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

7 Then said he unto the keeper of his vineyard, `Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down. Why cumbereth it the ground?'

8 And he answering said unto him, `Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig around it and dung it.
