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.
11. And lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent together and wholly unable to lift her head up.
12. And Jesus, seeing her, called to her, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13. And he laid his hands upon her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
