6 And he told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.
7 So he said to the gardener, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find any. Cut it down! Why should it even exhaust the soil?’
8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put manure on it.
9 And if indeed it produces fruit in the coming year, so much the better, but if not, you can cut it down.’ ”

11 And behold, a woman was there who had a spirit that had disabled her for eighteen years, and she was bent over and not able to straighten herself up completely.
