Luke 13:1-12

¹Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

²And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them?

³I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end.

⁴Or those eighteen men who were crushed by the fall of the tower of Siloam, were they worse than all the other men living in Jerusalem?

⁵I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.

⁶And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit.

⁷And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space?

⁸And he said, Lord, let it be for this year, and I will have the earth turned up round it, and put animal waste on it, to make it fertile:

⁹And if, after that, it has fruit, it is well; if not, let it be cut down.

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the Synagogues on the Sabbath.

¹¹And there was a woman who had had a disease for eighteen years; she was bent, and was not able to make herself straight.

¹²And when Jesus saw her, he said to her, Woman, you are made free from your disease.
