Luke 13:1-9
1Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galilaeans were worse sinners than all the other Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
4Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way."
6He spoke 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 dresser, `Behold, these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?`
8He answered, `Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.`"
