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.	And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.	Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.
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?’	And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’	So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8	He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.	And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure.	“’Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.
9	If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”	Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”	If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’”
