and observing at a distance a fig-tree full of leaves, he went up to it to see if he could find any fruit upon it. but when he came to it, he found it had nothing but leaves, (for it was not the season for that sort of fig.)

thereupon Jesus said to the fig-tree, "no one shall ever eat any fruit of yours." and his disciples took notice of it.

so looking up, he said, I see men; for by their walking I distinguish them from trees.

many spread their clothes in the way, others lopt down the branches of trees to strew them in the road.
