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

For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

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

He spoke 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 vinedresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbers it the ground?

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

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

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

And he spoke to them a parable; Look at the fig tree, and all the trees;

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