New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 12
⁵⁹ I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last cent."
Luke 13
¹ Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
² And Jesus said to them, "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 Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?
⁵ I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."
⁶ And He began telling this parable: "A man had 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. 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;
⁹ and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’"
¹⁰ And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
