Though that nation ​ — like the fig tree — ​ superficially appeared healthy, a closer look revealed a lack of faith that culminated in the rejection of the Messiah. ​ — Luke 3: 8, 9.
Kuigi see rahvas — nagu viigipuugi — paistis välispidiselt tervena, paljastas lähem vaatlus usupuuduse, mis saavutas haripunkti Messia hülgamisega. — Luuka 3: 8, 9.
