Call to Repent

 ¹Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood ^(A)Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

 ²And Jesus said to them, "^(B)Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?

 ³"I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.

 ⁴"Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in ^(C)Siloam fell and killed them were worse ^(D)culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?

 ⁵"I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

 ⁶And He began telling this parable: "A man had ^(E)a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

 ⁷"And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. ^(F)Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?'

 ⁸"And he answered and said to him, 'Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;

 ⁹and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.'"
