Luke 13:1-7 ▼

1 And there were some present at that time, telling Him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices;

2 and Jesus answering said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?

3 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, even so will all you perish.

4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, do you think that these became debtors beyond all men who are dwelling in Jerusalem?

5 No—I say to you, but if you may not convert, all you will perish in like manner.”

6 And He spoke this allegory: “A certain one had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;

7 and he said to the vinedresser, Behold, three years I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and do not find [it], cut it off, why does it also render the ground useless?
