Luke 13:1-12

¹At that time, some people there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their own sacrifices.

²Jesus answered and said to them, “Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?

³No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, all of you will perish in the same way.

⁴Or those eighteen people in Siloam on whom a tower fell and killed them, do you think they were worse sinners than other men in Jerusalem?

⁵No, I say. But if you do not repent, all of you will also perish.”

⁶Jesus told this parable, “Someone had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came and looked for fruit on it but found none.

⁷The man said to the gardener, 'Look, for three years I came and tried to find fruit on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down. Why let it waste the ground?'

⁸The gardener answered and said, 'Leave it alone this year while I dig around it and put manure on it.

⁹If it bears fruit next year, good; but if it does not, cut it down!'”

¹⁰Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues during the Sabbath.

¹¹Behold, a woman was there who for eighteen years had a spirit of weakness. She was bent over and was not able to straighten up completely.

¹²When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are freed from your weakness.”
