Levi H. Dowling, The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ… (1908)
“ And Jesus spoke unto the tree; he said, You useless cumberer of the ground; you fig tree fair to look upon, but a delusive thing.4. You take from the earth and air the food that fruitful trees should have.5. Go back to earth and be yourself the food for other trees to eat.6. When Jesus had thus spoken to the tree he went his way.7. And when he reached the temple, lo, the rooms were filled with petty merchants selling doves and animals, and other things, for sacrifice; the temple was a mart of trade.8. And Jesus was indignant at the sight, and said, You men of Israel, for shame! ”
