And from the fig tree learn ye a parable; When its young shoot be tender, and cause the leaves to grow, ye know that summer is near.
And having seen one fig tree by the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only; and he says to it, Let no more fruit be from thee forever. And instantly the fig tree was dried up.
And then shall he send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from extremity of earth to extremity of heaven.
So also ye, when ye see these things done, ye know that it is near at the door.
