I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them — do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?

“ ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.
But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.
If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”

The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?
