This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
fig tree - Israel, as the visible witness of God in the world, but generally all within the pale of the visible Church of God; a familiar figure (compare Isa 5:1-7; Joh 15:1-8, etc.).
vineyard - a spot selected for its fertility, separated from the surrounding fields, and cultivated with special care, with a view solely to fruit.
came and sought fruit - a heart turned to God; the fruits of righteousness; compare Mat 21:33, Mat 21:34, and Isa 5:2, “He looked that it should bring forth fruit”; He has a right to it, and will require it.
