He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

Wherefore, he ran before, and climbed up into a wild fig tree to see him. For he should come that same way.

And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees:

"Look at the fig tree and all the trees! When they put out their leaves you can see for yourselves that summer is coming.

For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

"For there is not good tree which bears worthless fruit, nor again any worthless tree which bears good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit.

It is similar to a seed from the mustard tree, which a man took and planted in his garden. And it grew and became a [large] tree, and the birds of the sky roosted in its branches."

And the Lord said, "If you had faith as [small as] a mustard tree seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and replanted in the ocean,' and it would obey you.

And when Jesus came to the tree, He said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down [from that tree], for I need to stay at your house today."

And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; and every tree which does not have good fruit will be cut down and put into the fire.

For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
