Verse routeMatthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [kjv]
Verse route7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [kjv]
Verse route7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [kjv]
Verse route7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. [kjv]

Jesus makes some interesting remarks about fruit trees. Plants, such as fruit trees, have DNA which determines which fruit is produced by which trees. This works well for literal trees and fruit. However, in these verses, Jesus uses one adjective for the trees and a different adjective for the fruit.

5. Ginkgo leaves falling
Ginkgo leaves falling
The leaves of ginkgo trees appear to fall on one day. The superficial reason involves scarring in their stems that happens quickly in the ginkgo trees given certain weather conditions (cold air, etc.). Biff: Make like a tree and get out of here.
The underlying reason is that the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is programmed to do so. From an applied programming language theory perspective, this can be a higher-order effect.

6. Kung Fu Panda
DVD: Kung Fu Panda
The Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
For those who like to watch animated movies, such as Kung Fu Panda, Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) tells Oogway that he can decide what tree to plant. Oogway tells Shifu that the tree will always be the tree determined by the seed - which came from that type of tree. Trees are named for what they produce. Are there exceptions?

7. Genesis 1:11-13 A seed within itself, the chicken or the egg
In Genesis 1:11-12 we have an example of this with fruit, "whose seed is in itself". Modern self-replicating programs provide an example of this idea.
Verse routeGenesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [kjv]
Verse routeκαι ειπεν ο θεος βλαστησατω η γη βοτανην χορτου σπειρον σπερμα κατα γενος και καθ ομοιοτητα και ξυλον καρπιμον ποιουν καρπον ου το σπερμα αυτου εν αυτω κατα γενος επι της γης και εγενετο ουτως [lxx]

Chicken and Egg Tree with twigs - fruit Tree and seed
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Which came first, the tree or the seed?
The question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" refers to a symbiotic situation where there are two objects that each depend on the other and the problem is to determine which came first.

Somehow, the information for the egg needs to be within the chicken. This is a self-referential system. The situation is simpler in regards to plants which are much more like fractals.

17. Rhododendron
Flower: Rhododendron

The English word "rhododendron" comes from the Latin word "rhododendron""cleander" and comes from the ancient Greek word "ῥοδόδενδρον""cleander" which comes from two Greek words. The Greek word for "rose" may be the source of the Greek island in the Aegean Sea and the main city on that island of "Ῥόδος""Rhodes".

Tree with twigs - fruit

Verse routegood hauen… [wy]
Verse routegood porte… [ty]

The ancient Greek word "καλός""beautiful, good, right" (nominative, masculine, singular).

The ancient Greek word "κᾰλούς""beautiful, good, right" (accusative, masculine, plural).

At one time, the English word "fair" meant more of "beautiful" or "good", although both Tyndale and Wycliffe use the English word "good".

Note that both words together constitute a place name and not a general description.

26. Acts 27:8
   Acts 27:8

KJV: And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

Verse routeπαν δενδρον μη ποιουν καρπον καλον εκκοπτεται και εις πυρ βαλλεται [gnt]

The ancient Greek word "κᾰλούς""beautiful, good, right" (accusative, masculine, plural) appears in each of three successive verses. Jesus uses this exact word in one other place in Matthew.

28. Review: Matthew 13 Pearl of great price parable 6
Verse routeMatthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: [kjv]
Verse routeπαλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων εμπορω ζητουντι καλους μαργαριτας [gnt]
Verse route13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. [kjv]
Verse route ευρων δε ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον [gnt]

Pearls Two laws
Why might a "great one of the earth", as a business transaction, "sell" everything, but not himself, to obtain "one" pearl?

This "one" pearly might be you!
If everything is sold to buy one pearl, which pearls are thus not obtained?

Might the two most important laws identified by Jesus be two "pearls". Both are needed. What happens if one obtains only one of these "pearls"?

Verse routeουτως παν δενδρον αγαθον καρπους καλους ποιει το δε σαπρον δενδρον καρπους πονηρους ποιει [gnt]

Beautiful and raca
As a Spoonerism, there are (at least) two words that can be related to "κᾰλούς""beautiful, good, right".
To bring forth "good" fruit, does one need to effectively call the council "raca"?
The English word "raca" comes from the ancient Greek word "ῥακά""idiot, fool, good-for-nothing" which comes from Aramaic (similar to Hebrew) word "ריקא""worthless person".

One is then "κᾰλούς""beautiful, good, right" when one effectively calls the "council" "raca" by ignoring them and doing what Jesus wants you to do. A similar sounding word is the ancient Greek word "ῥάκος""rag, strip of cloth".

The English word "raca" comes from the ancient Greek word "ῥακά""idiot, fool, good-for-nothing" which comes from Aramaic (similar to Hebrew) word "ריקא""worthless person".

The idea of being "clothed in righteousness" and the "garments" provided at the wedding feast provide one connection of the meaning of the "garment" in Matthew 9:16. Those "garments" can be "righteous" or "unrighteous" depending on the point of view.

Verse routeκαι βαλουσιν αυτους εις την καμινον του πυρος εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]

The Greek word translated as "bad" is that of "rotten". The end of the "rotten" is the "furnace" of "fire".

The ancient Greek word "σαπρός""rotten, putrid" and comes from "σήπω""make rotten, putrid". [Rodney Dangerfield, sap] The ancient Greek word "πράσον""leek" (plant).

The ancient Greek word "καλός""beautiful, good, right" and is often associated with "ἀγαθός""good, capable, trustworthy". A play on words can be "ἀγηθής""joyless" (of a person).

Verse routeπαν δενδρον μη ποιουν καρπον καλον εκκοπτεται και εις πυρ βαλλεται [gnt]

The KJV translates two different Greek words as "bring forth". The literal meaning is that of "bring forth" as in "fruit" but any figurative or code word meanings might need the different words.

The TR (Textus Receptus) changes "carry" to "make" to fit the other usages of this word in the surrounding verses.

Carry and in having

A "good" "tree" does "not" "carry" or "have" "in" it "rotten" "fruit".

Note that some Greek manuscripts have "make" or "cause" rather than "carry".

39. Matthew 7:17-19 Make and bring forth
Verse routeMatthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [kjv]
Verse route7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. [kjv]
Verse route7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. [kjv]

Here is the logic of the verses using the different words that are translated the same by the KJV. The TR changes the Greek word for "bring forth" to that of "make/cause" but most translations then translate them all as "bring forth" instead of "make/cause". Analyzing the logic would have been simpler if the words were the same.

40. Matthew 7:17 Good tree and good fruit
Verse routeMatthew 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. [kjv]
Verse routeουτως παν δενδρον αγαθον καρπους καλους ποιει το δε σαπρον δενδρον καρπους πονηρους ποιει [gnt]

In this verse there are two different Greek words that are translated as "good".

The ancient Greek word "ἀγαθός""good, capable, trustworthy". A similar sounding word is "ἀγηθής""joyless" (of a person).

The ancient Greek word "καλός""beautiful, good, right". This is paraphrased as "tasty" to separate it from the "good" word.

#  tree ‑ human organization  fruit ‑ human member(s)
1 "ἀγαθός"  ≈ "good, capable, trustworthy" "καλός"  ≈ "beautiful, good, right"
2 "σαπρός"  ≈ "rotten, putrid" "πονηρός"  ≈ "oppressed by toils"
There are two adjectives associated with each tree. Can a "tree" that is "rotten" produce "fruit" that is "oppressed by toils"? Might this be a result of a "yoke of compulsion"?

Jesus talked of this idea earlier in the verses of the "beams" and "twigs" or "motes".

Verse routeουτως παν δενδρον αγαθον καρπους καλους ποιει το δε σαπρον δενδρον καρπους πονηρους ποιει [gnt]

There are two types of "trees". Each has a "fruit" that is different than the "tree".

Good and not eating Beautifyl and raca Rotten and made in clay Evil and fornication

How well do the play on words work? The good tree would not eat the fruit for themselves. A raca fruit would be a fruit that does not do what the council desires when that conflicts with what Jesus wants.

Tree with twigs - fruit Tree with twigs - no fruit
Notice that the Latin uses the same word for the Greek "rotten" "fruit" in verse 33 and for "evil" man in verse 35. It is reasonable to assume that if Jesus intended these two be the same, Matthew would have used the same Greek word in each verse.
A mountain represents an empire. A tree represents the human infrastructure of an empire. The root of the tree represents the human leader. In computer science, a single person would be a (degenerate) tree structure. That is, a tree with no branches and one leaf - the root of the (degenerate) tree.

Luke is less detailed, loses the context of Matthew, and uses a different word for "good" and also for "rotten" that loses the play on word meaning as spoken and recorded by Matthew. The NA (Nestle Aland) Greek has "again" which is omitted in the TR and the KJV.
