Ustedes reconocen un árbol por los frutos que produce. Nadie recoge higos de un arbusto con espinas, ni cosecha uvas de una zarza.

¿Qué significa esto?

In Luke 6:44, Jesus is speaking and says that a tree is recognized by the fruit it bears. Just as you can't get figs from thorns or grapes from brambles, people are known by their actions and words.

Explicado para niños

Imagine if you planted an apple seed but got oranges instead! That's silly right? Jesus is saying that just like plants grow true to themselves, the things we do show what kind of person we really are. We can tell a lot about someone based on how they act!
