Doctrine and Covenants D&C 35:16
"And they shall learn the parable of the fig tree, for even now already summer is nigh."
New Testament Matthew 24:32
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:"

Shared words: parable of the fig tree

The revelation compresses: the gospel supplies the parable's content (the tender branch, the leaves) and the inference drawn from it; the revelation names the parable, asserts the season, and stops. 'parable of the fig tree' stands at four frozen verses: these two, Mark 13:28, and Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:38 — disclosed; the Matthew verse is the one paired, as the closer of the two on 'summer is nigh'.
