In context
6 Then Jesus told this parable: “A man had a fig tree that was planted in his vineyard. He went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any.
7 So he said to the keeper of the vineyard, ‘Look, for the past three years I have come to search for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Therefore cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’
8 ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone again this year, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
9 If it bears fruit next year, fine. But if not, you can cut it down.’”
10 One Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
11 and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight.
12 When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Woman, you are set free from your disability.”
