Luke 13:7-9
Lexham English Bible

7 So he said to the gardener, ‘Behold, for three years[a] I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find any.[b] Cut it down![c] Why should it even exhaust the soil?’ 8 But he answered and[d] said to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put manure on it.[e] 9 And if indeed it produces fruit in the coming year, so much the better,[f] but if not, you can cut it down.’”
