Doctrine and Covenants D&C 35:16
"And they shall learn the parable of the fig tree"
New Testament Luke 21:29
"And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;"

Third of the four frozen attestations of the named parable (Matthew 24:32, Mark 13:28, Luke 21:29, Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:38), disclosed so the pairing is not silently narrowed to one gospel. Luke 21:29 is the thinnest of the four: it names the fig tree but adds "and all the trees" and carries no summer clause in its own verse, so it shares less wording with D&C 35:16 than the other attestations do.
