Luke 6:43-45

The Lord of the Sabbath Forms a Kingdom People

Luke moves from Sabbath controversy to apostolic formation, from healing power to kingdom teaching, and from blessing and enemy-love to the demand for obedient foundations under Jesus' word.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

43 No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.

44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.

45 The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.
