2. Jesus answered, “Do you think this happened to those people because they were more sinful than all other people from Galilee?
3. No, they were not. But if you don’t decide now to change your lives, you will all be destroyed like those people!
4. And what about those 18 people who died when the tower of Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were more sinful than everyone else in Jerusalem?
5. They were not. But I tell you if you don’t decide now to change your lives, you will all be destroyed too!”
6. Jesus told this story: “A man had a fig tree. He planted it in his garden. He came looking for some fruit on it, but he found none.
7. He had a servant who took care of his garden. So he said to his servant, ‘I have been looking for fruit on this tree for three years, but I never find any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the ground?’
8. But the servant answered, ‘Master, let the tree have one more year to produce fruit. Let me dig up the dirt around it and fertilize it.
9. Maybe the tree will have fruit on it next year. If it still does not produce, then you can cut it down.’”
