Luke:13:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [
that of ]
their sacrifices .
*
And he answering said to them ,
Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things ?
*
No ,
I say to you ,
but if ye repent not ,
ye shall all perish in the same manner .
*
Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them ,
think ye that they were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem ?
*
No ,
I say to you ,
but if ye repent not ,
ye shall all perish in like manner .
*
And he spoke this parable :
A certain [
man ]
had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard ,
and he came seeking fruit upon it and did not find [
any ].
*
And he said to the vinedresser ,
Behold , [
these ]
three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none :
cut it down ;
why does it also render the ground useless ?
*
But he answering says to him ,
Sir ,
let it alone for this year also ,
until I shall dig about it and put dung ,
*
and if it shall bear fruit --
but if not ,
after that thou shalt cut it down .
