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 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

28 "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

29 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near--at the doors!

30 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
