Luke 13:1-7 ▼

1 At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

2 He asked them, |Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered like this?

3 Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die.

4 What about those eighteen people who were killed when the tower at Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were worse offenders than all the other people living in Jerusalem?

5 Absolutely not, I tell you! But if you don't repent, then you, too, will all die.|

6 Then Jesus told them this parable: |A man had a fig tree that had been planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it but didn't find any.

7 So he told the gardener, 'Look here! For three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this tree but I haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the soil?'
