He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.
When He saw a fig tree by the road, He went to it but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “Let no fruit ever grow on you again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near.”
When they are sprouting leaves already, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.
