1At that time some of those present told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?
3No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
4Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?
5No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”
6Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
7So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’ t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”
— Luke 13:1-9
