And he spoke to them a parable; Look at the fig tree, and all the trees;
And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on you from now on for ever. And soon after 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 sprout, you see and know for your own selves that summer is now near at hand.
