56

E spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came und sought fruit thereon, and found none.

2 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

3 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

4 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

ND as he spake a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
