SufferingSin

2 To this He replied, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered this fate?

3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.

Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam collapsed on them: Do you think that they were more sinful than all the others living in Jerusalem?

5 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you too will all perish.”

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.
