For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

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?

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

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

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
