1Now some were present with him at that time announcing to him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.2And answering he said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered these things?"3No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish likewise.4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they became debtors beyond all the people who dwell in Jerusalem?5No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish likewise.6Then he told this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.7He said to the vine-worker, Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none; cut it down; why should it also waste the ground?8He answered and said to him, Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and throw manure.9And if on the one hand it produces fruit in the future, but if not, you will cut it down.
