2. And Jesus answering said unto them,
3. I tell you, Nay: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
4. Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5. I tell you, Nay: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
6. He spoke also this parable;
7. Then said he unto the vinedresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbers it the ground?
8. And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and fertilize it:
9. And if it bears fruit, well: and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
