Luke:13:1-9
rsv@Luke:13:1 @ There were some present at that very time who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
rsv@Luke:13:2 @ And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered thus?
rsv@Luke:13:3 @ I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
rsv@Luke:13:4 @ 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?
rsv@Luke:13:5 @ I tell you, No; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."
rsv@Luke:13:6 @ 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.
rsv@Luke:13:7 @ 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?'
rsv@Luke:13:8 @ And he answered him, `Let it alone, sir, this year also, till I dig about it and put on manure.
rsv@Luke:13:9 @ And if it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'"
