So then, you will know the false prophets by what they do.
You will know them by what they do. Thorn bushes do not bear grapes, and briers do not bear figs.

“To have good fruit you must have a healthy tree; if you have a poor tree, you will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it bears.

A fig tree, my friends, cannot bear olives; a grapevine cannot bear figs, nor can a salty spring produce sweet water.
