acv@Luke:13:6 @ And he spoke this parable. A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
acv@Luke:13:7 @ And he said to the vine workman, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none. Cut it down, why also waste the ground?
acv@Luke:13:8 @ And having answered, he says to him, Sir, allow it this year also until I may dig around it and cast manure.
acv@Luke:13:9 @ Although surely it should bear fruit, and if not, in the coming year thou will cut it down.
