This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Recognising the tree by the fruit

Mat 7:15–20

Luke 6:43–44

15 “Watch out for false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inside they’re swindling wolves. 16 You people will know who they are if you observe their fruit. Does anyone pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Similarly, every good tree produces good fruit, but the bad tree produces evil fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire.[ref] 20 So then, you’ll know the false teachers by observing their fruit.[ref]


43 “A good tree doesn’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree doesn’t produce good fruit, 44 but each tree is recognised by the fruit it produces. You don’t pick figs from thistles or pick grapes from thorn bushes.[ref]
