Luke 13:1-12

¹Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with that of their sacrifices.

²And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?

³No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.

⁴Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, think ye that they were debtors beyond all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.

⁶And 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.

⁷And 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?

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

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

¹⁰And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

¹¹And lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.

¹²And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
