Luke 13:7-9 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 make the land useless?'

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 make the land useless?' ⁸ But he, answering, says to him, 'Lord, leave it this year also, until I dig about it, and cast in fertilizers. ⁹ And if, indeed, it bear fruit for the future, well; but, if not, you shall cut it down.'"
