Ø 48. The Calamities of cer-
tain Galileans a warning to the
Jews.

C. XIII.
THERE were present at that
season some that told him of the
Galileans,whose blood Pilate had
mingled with their sacrifices.

2 And Jesus answering, said
unto them, Suppose ye that these
Galileans were sinners above all
the Galileans, because they suf-
fered such things ?

3 I tell you, Nay:but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?

5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

7 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?

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

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

it down. § 49. Para. bles. The Reason why Jesus used them. An Explanation of one.
