Luke 13:8 WBT

⁶  He spoke also this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit on it, and found none.

⁷  Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

⁸  And he answering, said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:

⁹  And if it shall bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.

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