and seeing a fig tree by the way he went to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only, and he said to it, Let there be no fruit on you forever. And the fig tree immediately withered,

and the disciples seeing it, wondered and said, How soon is this fig tree withered!

Jesus answered and said to them, I tell you truly, that if you have faith and doubt not, you shall not only do this of the fig tree, but if you should say to this mountain, Be taken up and be cast into the sea, it would be done;

But learn the parable of the fig tree. When its branch is now green, and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is nigh.

Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

So every good tree bears good fruits, but a bad tree bears bad fruits;

a good tree cannot bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree good fruits.

and already the axe lies at the root of the trees; every tree, therefore, which bears not good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
