Luke 13:3-9
English Standard Version
Chapter 13
3No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? 5No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."
6And he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.
7And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’
8And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure.
9Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’"
