Episode Notes

[1] There were present at that season some who told Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. [2] And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? [3] "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. [4] "Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they were worse sinners than all other men who dwelt in Jerusalem? [5] "I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish." [6] He also 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] "Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?' [8] "But he answered and said to him, 'Sir, let 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 can cut it down.' " (Luke 13:1-9 NKJV)
