6. Then He told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard. He came and looked for fruit on it and found none.
7. So he said to the vinedresser of his vineyard, ‘Now these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it deplete the soil?’
8. “He answered him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9. And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you shall cut it down.’ ”
10. He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
11. And there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years and was bent over and could not straighten herself up.
12. When Jesus saw her, He called her and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”
13. Then He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight and glorified God.
14. But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and said to the people, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come and be healed on those days, but not on the Sabbath day.”
