6He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7He said to the vine dresser, `Behold, these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?`
8He answered, `Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.`"
10He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
11Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way lift herself up.
12When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your infirmity."
