Luke:13:6-9
jub@Luke:13:6 @ And He spoke this parable: A certain [man] had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit upon it and found none.
jub@Luke:13:7 @ Then he said unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none; cut it down; why does it cumber the ground?
jub@Luke:13:8 @ And he, answering, said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also until I shall dig about it and dung [it],
jub@Luke:13:9 @ and if it bears fruit, [well]; and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.
