Luke 13:1-12

¹Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

²Jesus answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

³I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.

⁴Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”

⁶He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

⁷He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down! Why does it waste the soil?’

⁸He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilise it.

⁹If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”

¹⁰He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.

¹¹Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way straighten herself up.

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