2 Jesus answered, “Do you think this happened to those people because they were more sinful than all other people from Galilee?
3 No, they were not. But if you don’t decide now to change your lives, you will all be destroyed like those people!
4 And what about those 18 people who died when the tower of Siloam fell on them? Do you think they were more sinful than everyone else in Jerusalem?
5 They were not. But I tell you if you don’t decide now to change your lives, you will all be destroyed too!”
6 Jesus told this story: “A man had a fig tree. He planted it in his garden. He came looking for some fruit on it, but he found none.
7 He had a servant who took care of his garden. So he said to his servant, ‘I have been looking for fruit on this tree for three years, but I never find any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the ground?’
8 But the servant answered, ‘Master, let the tree have one more year to produce fruit. Let me dig up the dirt around it and fertilize it.
