Luke 13:7 CPDV

⁵  No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.'

⁶  And he also told this parable: 'A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but found none.

⁷  Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: 'Behold, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Therefore, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?'

⁸  But in response, he said to him: 'Lord, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer.

⁹  And, indeed, it should bear fruit. But if not, in the future, you shall cut it down.'
