6 Then Yeshua began telling this parable: “A man had a fig tree he had planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it and found none.
7 So he said to the gardener, ‘Indeed, for three years I‘ve come searching for fruit on this fig tree and found none. Remove it! Why does it use up the ground?’
8 “But answering, the gardener said to him, ‘Master, leave it alone for this year also, until I dig around it and apply fertilizer.
9 And if it bears fruit, good. But if not, cut it down.’”

11 And behold, there was a woman with a disabling spirit for eighteen years, bent over and completely unable to stand up straight.
