Luke 13:1-7 ▼

1 Now there were some present on that occasion who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 He answered them, |Do you think these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?

3 No, I tell you! But unless you repent, you will all perish as well!

4 Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower in Siloam fell on them, do you think they were worse offenders than all the others who live in Jerusalem?

5 No, I tell you! But unless you repent you will all perish as well!|

6 Then Jesus told this parable: |A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

7 So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, 'For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?'
