1. Now at the same time there were present some who told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate mingled with that of their sacrifices.
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?
