1 At that time, some people came and reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2 And He responded to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all Galileans because they suffered these things?
3 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!
4 Or those 18 that the tower in Siloam fell on and killed — do you think they were more sinful than all the people who live in Jerusalem?
5 No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well! ”
6 And He told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He came looking for fruit on it and found none.
7 He told the vineyard worker, ‘Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil? ’
8 “But he replied to him, ‘Sir, leave it this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 Perhaps it will bear fruit next year , but if not, you can cut it down.’ ”
10 As He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath,
11 a woman was there who had been disabled by a spirit for over 18 years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all .
12 When Jesus saw her, He called out to her, “ Woman, you are free of your disability.”
13 Then He laid His hands on her, and instantly she was restored and began to glorify God.
