Luke 6:44

for every tree is known of his fruit. And men gather not figs of thorns, neither men gather a grape of a bush of briers. (for every tree is known by its fruit. And people do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a briar bush.)

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

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.
