New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 12
⁵⁹ I tell you, you shall not depart from there till you have paid the very last mite."
Luke 13
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.’ "
¹⁰ Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath.
