Luke 6:44

For euery tree is knowen by his fruite: for of thornes do not me gather fygges, nor of busshes, gather they grapes.

Bible (Bishops')

In The King James Version

For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

In Context
