إنجيل القدّيس لوقا 9-6:13
وضَرَبَ هذا المَثَل: «كانَ لِرَجُلٍ تينَةٌ مَغروسَةٌ في كَرمِه، فجاءَ يَطلُبُ ثَمَرًا علَيها فلَم يَجِدْ.
فقالَ لِلكَرَّام: «إِنِّي آتي مُنذُ ثَلاثِ سَنَواتٍ إِلى التِّينَةِ هذه أَطُلبُ ثَمَرًا علَيها فلا أَجِد، فَاقطَعْها! لِماذا تُعَطِّلُ الأَرض؟»
فأَجابَه: سيِّدي، دَعْها هذِه السَّنَةَ أَيضًا، حتَّى أَقلِبَ الأَرضَ مِن حَولِها وأُلْقِيَ سَمادًا.
فَلُرَّبما تُثمِرُ في العامِ المُقبِل وإِلاَّ فتَقطَعُها

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah who died between the altar and the temple building. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be charged with their blood!

for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say.
