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

15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns? Or figs of thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit: nor yet a bad tree can bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
