Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance,

"And even now the axe lies at the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree that does not bring forth good fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire.

Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.

A good tree cannot produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.

Every tree that does not grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

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

Still others fell on good soil, and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.

And what was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word, and understands it, who truly bears fruit, and brings forth, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."

But when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, then the tares appeared also.

Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, "Let there be no fruit from you forever." Immediately the fig tree withered away.

When the season for the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his fruit.

They told him, "He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give him the fruit in its season."

"Therefore I tell you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation bringing forth its fruit.

But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's Kingdom."
