Luke 13:7-9 ▼

7 So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?

8 ‘Sir, the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.

9 If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.
