6. And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none.
7. And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground?
8. And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
9. and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.
