 * seeing.
  Mt 21:19  Lu 13:6-9 
 * a fig-tree.
   The fig-tree, [suke [,] is a genus of
   the polygamia triaecia class of plants, seldom rising above
   twelve feet, but sending off from the bottom many spreading
   branches.  The leaves are of a dark green colour, nearly a
   span long, smooth, and irregularly divided into from three to
   five deep rounded lobes; and the fruit grows on short and
   thick stalks, of a purplish colour, and contains a soft,
   sweet, and fragrant pulp, intermixed with numerous small
   seeds.

 * haply.
  Ru 2:3  1Sa 6:9  Lu 10:31  12:6,7 
 * he found.
  Isa 5:7 
 * for.
   Dr. Campbell observes, that the declaration, "for the time of
   [ripe, Ed.] figs was not yet," is not the reason why our Lord
   did not find any fruit on the tree, because the fig is of that
   class of vegetables in which the fruit is formed in its
   immature state before the leaves are seen.  But as the fruit
   is of a pulpy nature, the broad, thick leaves come out in
   profusion to protect it from the rays of the sun during the
   time it is ripening.  If the words, "for the time," etc.
   however, are read as a parenthesis, they then become a reason
   why Jesus Christ should look for fruit, because the season for
   gathering not having fully come, it would remove all suspicion
   that the fruit had been gathered:  while the presence of the
   leaves incontestably proved the advance of the tree to the
   state in which fruit is found.
