Mark 13:28 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 13:28

Now learn a parable of the fig tree
Our Lord was now upon the Mount of Olives, in one part of which fig trees grew in great plenty, and one, or more, might be near, and in view; and it was the time of year, the passover being at hand, for its putting forth:

when her branch is yet tender;
and soft and opening, through the sap now in motion:

and putteth forth leaves;
from the branches:

ye know, that summer is near;
from such an appearance on the fig tree; (See Gill on Matthew 24:32).

Mark 13:28 In-Context

26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

27 And then shall he send forth the angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

28 Now from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and putteth forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh;

29 even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that he is nigh, [even] at the doors.

30 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.
