Luke 13:6-9

Darby Translation

⁶ And he spoke this parable: A certain [man] had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit upon it and did not find [any].

⁷ And he said to the vinedresser, Behold, [these] three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree and find none: cut it down; why does it also render the ground useless?

⁸ But he answering says to him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it and put dung,

⁹ and if it shall bear fruit—but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.
