suke is the tree observed for fruit, leaves, growth, drying, and illustrative comparison in Scripture.

The term consistently names a tree in scenes of fruit and leaves, personal location, parables, and comparisons: it may be sought for fruit, put forth leaves as a seasonal sign, dry up, or illustrate the falling of late figs.

1. A tree in observation, parable, and comparison · dominant

   The singular noun identifies the tree under which Nathanael was seen in John 1:48, the planted tree sought for fruit in Luke 13:6, and the leafy tree that yielded no fruit in Mark 11:13. It also supplies the image of a branch putting forth leaves in Matthew 24:32 and of late figs shaken loose by wind in Revelation 6:13; in these verses the APB renders the clauses with "fig tree."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the noun as "fig tree," including scenes of being under it, seeking fruit from it, and learning from its leaves. In Revelation 6:13, the same tree is the comparison point for late figs being thrown off.
