Luke 13:6-9
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6 He spake also this parable; A certain [man] had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
6:
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
7:
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
8:
9 And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that thou shalt cut it down.
9:
