Luke 13:1-12

¹There were present also at the same time some who told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate mingled with their sacrifices.

²And he answering said to them, Do ye think that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they have suffered such things?

³I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.

⁴Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were offenders above all the men that dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵I tell you, nay; but unless ye repent, ye will all in like manner perish.

⁶He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.

⁷Then said he to the vine-dresser, Lo! three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and have found none; cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

⁸And he answering saith to him, Lord, let it alone this year also; till I shall dig about it, and dung it;

⁹and if it bear fruit hereafter, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.

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

¹¹And lo! there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bent together, and wholly unable to lift herself up.

¹²And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art set free from thy infirmity.
