This passage contains an analogy between prophets
and fruit trees. What purpose might the tree analogy
serve?
O to point out that good and evil are opposite
O to explain that not all prophets have good
intentions
O to imply that you cannot always judge someone
by their looks
O to suggest that that there are many false
prophets
Done

Matthew
(excerpt from the King James
Version)
Beware of false prophets,
which come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves. Ye shall
know them by their fruits. Do
men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles? Even so
every good tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit. A
good tree cannot bring forth
evil fruit neither
