Matthew 24:32

32 ab arbore autem fici discite parabolam cum iam ramus eius tener fuerit et folia nata scitis quia prope est aestas

Matthew 24:32 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 24:32

Now learn a parable of the fig tree
Take a similitude, or comparison from the fig tree, which was a tree well known in Judea; and the putting forth of its branches, leaves, and fruit, fell under the observation of everyone: when its branch is yet tender;
through the influence of the sun, and the motion of the sap, which was bound up, and congealed in the winter season: and putteth forth leaves;
from the tender branches, which swell, and open, and put forth buds, leaves, and fruit: ye know the summer is nigh;
spring being already come: the fig tree putting forth her green figs, is a sign that the winter is past, the spring is come, and summer is at hand; see ( Song of Solomon 2:11 Song of Solomon 2:13 ) .

Matthew 24:32 In-Context

30 et tunc parebit signum Filii hominis in caelo et tunc plangent omnes tribus terrae et videbunt Filium hominis venientem in nubibus caeli cum virtute multa et maiestate
31 et mittet angelos suos cum tuba et voce magna et congregabunt electos eius a quattuor ventis a summis caelorum usque ad terminos eorum
32 ab arbore autem fici discite parabolam cum iam ramus eius tener fuerit et folia nata scitis quia prope est aestas
33 ita et vos cum videritis haec omnia scitote quia prope est in ianuis
34 amen dico vobis quia non praeteribit haec generatio donec omnia haec fiant
