when they bring forth now of themselves fruit, ye know that summer is nigh;
And learn ye the parable of the fig tree. When his branch is now tender, and the leaves be sprung, ye know that summer is nigh;
But what and of yourselves ye deem not that that is just? [Forsooth why and of yourselves deem ye not this thing that is just?]
And he said to them a likeness, See ye the fig tree, and all trees,
Assay yourselves, if ye be in the faith; ye yourselves prove. Whether ye know not yourselves, for Christ Jesus is in you? but in hap ye be reprovable.
