And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Look! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree [a]without finding any. (B)Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’ But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
