Mar 6: Luke 13:6-9 Then he told this parable:

“A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.

So he said to the gardener, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?’

He replied, ‘Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’ ”
