Then Jesus told this story: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
Seeing a fig tree beside the road, Jesus went to it, but there were no figs on the tree, only leaves. So Jesus said to the tree, “You will never again have fruit.” The tree immediately dried up.
When these things begin to happen, look up and hold your heads high, because the time when God will free you is near!”
When their leaves appear, you know that summer is near.
