The axe is lying all ready at the root of the trees; any tree that is not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

every good tree bears sound fruit, but a rotten tree bears bad fruit;

a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot bear sound fruit.

It is less than any seed on earth, but when it grows up it is larger than any plant, it becomes a tree, so large that the wild birds come and roost in its branches."

and noticing a fig tree by the roadside he went up to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, "May no fruit ever come from you after this!" And instantly the fig tree withered up.

When the disciples saw this they marvelled. "How did the fig tree wither up in an instant?" they said.

Jesus answered, "I tell you truly, if you have faith, if you have no doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree but even if you say to this hill, 'Take and throw yourself into the sea,' it will be done.

Now as they passed in the morning they noticed the fig tree had withered to the root.

Then Peter remembered. "Rabbi," he said, "there is the fig tree you cursed, all withered!"

Let the fig tree teach you a parable. As soon as its branches turn soft and put out leaves, you know summer is at hand;

The axe is lying all ready at the root of the trees; any tree that is not producing good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."

No sound tree bears rotten fruit, nor again does a rotten tree bear sound fruit:

each tree is known by its fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, and grapes are not plucked from a bramble-bush.

And he told this parable. "A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; he came in search of fruit on it but he found none.

So he said to the vinedresser, 'Here have I come for three years in search of fruit on this fig tree without finding any; cut it down, why should it take up space?'

It is like a grain of mustard-seed which a man took and put into his orchard, where it grew up and became a tree, and the wild birds roosted in its branches."

Let anyone who has an ear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches: 'The conqueror I will allow to eat from the tree of Life which is within the paradise of God.'

the stars of the sky dropped to earth as a fig tree shaken by a gale sheds her unripe figs,

After that I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds from blowing on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

but they were told not to harm the grass on earth nor any green thing nor any tree, only such human beings as had not the seal of God upon their foreheads;

through the streets of the City; on both sides of the river grew the tree of Life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, each month having its own fruit; and the leaves served to heal the nations.
