Then he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the other trees.
After noticing a fig tree by the road he went to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, “Never again will there be fruit from you!” And the fig tree withered at once.
But when these things begin to happen, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
When they sprout leaves, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near.
