- He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
- And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?
- But he answering, said to him: Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig about it, and dung it.
- And if happily it bear fruit: but if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

- And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?
