1 NOW there were some present at that time who informed him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus in reply said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, No: for except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think ye that they were debtors to divine justice above all the men who dwell at Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, No: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 6 Then he spake this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came, expecting fruit on it, and found none. 7 Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! for three years have I come, expecting fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it render the ground thus useless?
