Mark 13:28

28 Learne a similitude of ye fygge tree. When his braunches are yet tender and hath brought forthe leves ye knowe that sommer is neare.

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 se the sonne of man comynge in the cloudes with greate power and glory.

27 And then shall he sende his angels and shall gaddre to gedder his electe from the fower wyndes and from the one ende of the worlde to the other.

28 Learne a similitude of ye fygge tree. When his braunches are yet tender and hath brought forthe leves ye knowe that sommer is neare.

29 So in lyke maner when ye se these thinges come to passe: vnderstond that it ys nye even at the dores.

30 Verely I saye vnto you yt this generacion shall not passe tyll all these thinges be done.
