1 Jesus warned His

listeners that those who
do not repent will perish
(v5). He then told this
parable, ‘A man planted
a fig tree in his garden
and for the next three
years examined it again
and again to see if he
could find any fruit on it.
But he was always
disappointed.

2 ‘In frustration he asked

his gardener to cut it
down saying, “I’ve
waited three years and
there hasn’t been a
single fig! Why bother
with it any longer? It’s
taking up space we can
use for something else.”

3 ‘“Give it one more

chance,” the gardener
replied. “Leave it
another year, and I’ll dig
the ground around it and
use plenty of fertiliser.
4 ‘‘If we get figs next year,
fine. If not, I’ll cut it
down.”’
