Matthew 7:15-20 - The Sermon On The Mount: Recognizing False Prophets

¹⁵ "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you disguised as sheep but are ravenous wolves underneath. ¹⁶ You can tell them by their fruit. Do people pick grapes off thorns, or figs off thistles? ¹⁷ Just so any sound tree bears good fruit, but a poor tree bears bad fruit. ¹⁸ No sound tree can bear bad fruit, and no poor tree can bear good fruit. ¹⁹ Any tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and burned. ²⁰ So you can tell them by their fruit.
