Reading Luke chapter 13 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with [that of] their sacrifices.
2 And he answering said to them, Think ye that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans because they suffered such things?
3 No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in the same manner.
4 Or 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?
5 No, I say to you, but if ye repent not, ye shall all perish in like manner.
6 And 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].
7 And 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?
8 But he answering says to him, Sir, let it alone for this year also, until I shall dig about it and put dung,
9 and if it shall bear fruit — but if not, after that thou shalt cut it down.
10 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
