| ✞ | Mr 13:28 ¶ Now learn a parable of the fig [1] tree [2]; When her [3] branch is yet tender [4], and putteth forth leaves [5], ye know that summer [6] is near:
¢ § "Learn from a parable of the cross; When 'Israel' is weak, and offers the burnt offering, you know that the love of God is near." 'Her', refers to the bride since she is made to be like Christ. Mark, using the "Israel is the Son of God" hermeneutic of his time, does not yet see Christ in it. |
|
| Mr 13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things [1] come to pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors. | ||
| Mr 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation [1] shall not pass, till all these things be done. | ||
| ✞ | Mt 24:32 ¶ Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:
¢ Matthew has learned that the fig tree represents Christ. He does not yet understand that all the trees in scripture refer to Christ. |
|
| Mt 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things [1], know that it is near, [even] at the doors. | ||
| Mt 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation [1] shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. | ||
| ✞ | Lu 21:29 ¶ And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
¢ Now the understanding in the church is that all tree refer to the cross and Christ. John need not expound on it since it has reached it's fullness. |
|
| Lu 21:30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. | ||
| Lu 21:31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things [1] come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. |

- Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν: ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς ἁπαλὸς γένηται καὶ ἐκφύῃ τὰ φύλλα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν.
- Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς συκῆς μάθετε τὴν παραβολήν: ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος:
- Καὶ εἶπεν παραβολὴν αὐτοῖς: Ἴδετε τὴν συκῆν καὶ πάντα τὰ δένδρα:
- οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.
- οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε πάντα ταῦτα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἐπὶ θύραις.
- ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη, βλέποντες ἀφ' ἑαυτῶν γινώσκετε ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν:
- ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη μέχρις οὗ ταῦτα πάντα γένηται.
- ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ἕως ἂν πάντα ταῦτα γένηται.
- οὕτως καὶ ὑμεῖς, ὅταν ἴδητε ταῦτα γινόμενα, γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐγγύς ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ.
