Luke 13:7-9 Then he said to the vine-dresser, This is the third year that I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, without finding any. Cut it down: why should it cumber the ground?

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Then he said to the vine-dresser, This is the third year that I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, without finding any. Cut it down: why should it cumber the ground? ⁸ He answered, Sir, let it alone one year longer till I dig about it, and manure it; ⁹ perhaps it will bear fruit: if not, you may afterward cut it down.
