a fig tree . The fig-tree , ףץךוח [Strong's G4808] , is a genus of the polygamia triזcia class of plants , seldom rising above twelve feet , but sending off from the bottom many spreading branches. The leaves are of a dark green colour , nearly a span long , smooth , and irregularly divided into from three to five deep rounded lobes; and the fruit grows on short and thick stalks , of a purplish colour , and contains a soft , sweet , and fragrant pulp , intermixed with numerous small seeds.

for . Dr. Campbell observes , that the declaration , "for the time of (ripe , Ed.) figs was not yet ," is not the reason why our Lord did not find any fruit on the tree , because the fig is of that class of vegetables in which the fruit is formed in its immature state before the leaves are seen. But as the fruit is of a pulpy nature , the broad , thick leaves come out in profusion to protect it from the rays of the sun during the time it is ripening. If the words , "for the time ," etc. however , are read as a parenthesis , they then become a reason why Jesus Christ should look for fruit , because the season for gathering not having fully come , it would remove all suspicion that the fruit had been gathered . while the presence of the leaves incontestably proved the advance of the tree to the state in which fruit is found.

they saw . Matthew informs us that this tree grew by the way-side , and was therefore not private , but public property; so that the destruction of it really injured no one. Our Lord was pleased to make use of this miracle to prefigure the speedy ruin of the Jewish nation , on account of its unfruitfulness under greater advantages than any other people enjoyed at that day; and , like all the rest of his miracles , it was done with a gracious intention , to alarm his countrymen , and induce them to repent.
