Luke 13:8 WEB

⁶  He spoke this parable. 'A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

⁷  He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'

⁸  He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.

⁹  If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.''

¹⁰  He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
