Luke 13: 1 - 9
|
| 1 | There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. |
| 2 | And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus? |
| 3 | I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. |
| 4 | Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Silo'am fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who dwelt in Jerusalem? |
| 5 | I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." |
| 6 | And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. |
| 7 | And he said to the vinedresser, `Lo, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down; why should it use up the ground?' |
| 8 | And he answered him, `Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure. |
| 9 | And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'" |
