What reading level is The Open Court 34, No.768 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
. .And in the morning (of the next day), passing by, they saw the fig-tree dried up from the roots. And having remembered, Peter says to him. Rabbi, see, the fig-tree which thou cursedst is dried up." Matthew alone (xxi. 18-22) repeats the story, with some variations: omitting the statement that it was not the season for figs and stating that the tree "dried up immediately" after Jesus cursed it.
All authorities are agreed that it was not the season for figs when this cursing occurred, whence s...ome suppose that the tree had put forth leaves out of the ordinary course of nature, and that Jesus therefore expected to find fruit on it — for the figs precede the leaves. But this not only denies the omniscience of Jesus, but makes him curse the tree for not bearing fruit out of season.
Strauss conjectures that the story was originally symbolical of un- fruitful Israel {New Life of Jesus, 81; cf. Luke xiii. 6-9), as if that nation were expected to be fruitful out of season ; but both Mark and Alatthew obviously intend the story to be taken literally.
