Luke 13:1-12

¹And some men were present in that time, that told to him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mingled with the sacrifices of them.

²And he answered, and said to them, Ween ye that these men of Galilee were sinners more than all Galileans, for they suffered such things?

³I say to you, nay; all ye shall perish in like manner, but ye have penance.

⁴And as those eighteen, on which the tower in Siloam fell down, and slew them, guess ye, that they were debtors more than all men that dwell in Jerusalem?

⁵I say to you, nay; but also all ye shall perish, if ye do not penance.

⁶And he said this likeness, A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and found none.

⁷And he said to the tiller of the vineyard, Lo! three years be, since I come seeking fruit in this fig tree, and I find none; therefore cut it down, whereto occupieth it the earth?

⁸And he answering said to him, Lord, suffer it also this year, the while I delve about it, and I shall dung it or and dung it;

⁹if it shall make fruit, else if not, in time coming thou shalt cut it down.

¹⁰And he was teaching in their synagogue in the sabbaths.

¹¹And lo! a woman, that had a spirit of sickness eighteen years, and was crooked or bowed down, and neither in any manner might look upward.

¹²Whom when Jesus had seen, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art delivered of thy sickness.
