Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ And He spake this parable, A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, but found none. ⁷ And he said to the vine-dresser, behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none: cut it down, why should it cumber the ground? ⁸ And he said to him, Sir, let it alone this year also, till I dig about it, and lay dung to it: ⁹ then perhaps it may bear fruit; if not, afterwards cut it down.
