And he spoke to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.
When they now shoot forth, you see and know of your own selves that summer is now near at hand.
