Luke 13:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ So he said to the gardener, ‘Indeed, for three years I‘ve come searching for fruit on this fig tree and found none. Remove it! Why does it use up the ground?’

⁸ “But answering, the gardener said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer. ⁹ And if it bears fruit, good. But if not, cut it down.’”
