Luke 13:6-9 And he spoke this similitude: A man had a fig-tree that was planted in his vineyard: and he came, seeking fruits upon it, and found none.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And he spoke this similitude: A man had a fig-tree that was planted in his vineyard: and he came, seeking fruits upon it, and found none. ⁷ And he said to the cultivator: Lo, these three years, I have come seeking fruits on this fig-tree, and I find none. Cut it down: why should it cumber the ground? ⁸ The cultivator said to him: My Lord, spare it this year also, until I shall work about it, and manure it. ⁹ And if it bear fruits, well; and if not, thou wilt cut it down: why should it live?
