	Parable of the Barren Figtree.

⁶He also spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard. And he came and sought fruit on it, and found none. ⁷And he said to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down, why does it encumber the ground? ⁸And answering, he said to him, Lord, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and throw manure. ⁹And if it bears fruit, well; and if not, then after that you shall cut it down.
