Luke 13:8 ASV

⁶  And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.

⁷  And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground?

⁸  And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

⁹  and if it bear fruit thenceforth, `well'; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.

¹⁰  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day.
