1. Now there were some present at the same time who told him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
2. Yeshua answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?
3. I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.
4. Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them; do you think that they were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem?
5. I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.”
6. He spoke this parable. “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7. He said to the vine dresser, ‘Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?’
8. He answered, ‘Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilise it.
9. If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.’”
10. He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11. Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years. She was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.
12. When Yeshua saw her, he called her, and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”
13. He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight and glorified God.
14. The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Yeshua had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”
