Context Readings

The Sermon On The Plain: Trees And Their Fruit

44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. People do not gather figs off thorn bushes, nor pick a bunch of grapes off a bramble. 45  A good man, from the good stores of his heart, brings out what is good; while a bad man, from his bad stores, brings out what is bad. For what fills a man's heart will rise to his lips. 46 Why do you call me 'Master! Master!' and yet fail to do what I tell you?
