The Barren Fig Tree
| 6 | He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. |
| 7 | Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why encumbereth it the ground? |
| 8 | And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: |
| 9 | And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. |
