Luke:13:6-9
gltv@Luke:13:6 @ And He spoke this parable: A certain one had planted a fig tree in his vineyard. And he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.
gltv@Luke:13:7 @ And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down, and why does it waste the ground?
gltv@Luke:13:8 @ And the vinedresser said to him, Sir, leave it also this year until I shall dig around it and throw manure;
gltv@Luke:13:9 @ and see if it indeed makes fruit. But if not, in the future you may cut it down.
