Since the early figs appear along with the leaves ​ — and sometimes even before the leaves develop — ​ the tree’s lack of fruit showed that it was worthless. ​ — Mark 11: 13, 14.
Tā kā agrīnās vīģes parādās vienā laikā ar lapām, bet reizēm pat vēl pirms tām, fakts, ka kokā nebija augļu, liecināja, ka tas ir neauglīgs.
