Luke 6:44

for every tree by its fruits is known. For how gather they from thorns figs? neither also from the bramble do they gather in grapes.

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

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.
