Mulberry tree, a cultivated fruit-bearing tree
The mulberry tree, a common fruit-bearing tree in the Mediterranean world. In Luke 17:6, Jesus uses the mulberry tree in a saying about faith: if his disciples had faith like a mustard seed, they could command a mulberry tree to be uprooted and planted in the sea. The choice of this particular tree—known for its deep root system—emphasizes the impossibility being described, making the power of faith all the more striking. Some lexicons note confusion with the sycamore-fig, but this is the true mulberry.

1. sense 1 — A specific fruit tree used in Jesus's hyperbolic teaching on faith's power. The multilingual glosses show some confusion: English 'mulberry-tree' is correct, but Spanish 'sicomorero' and French 'sycomore' appear to conflate it with the sycamore-fig (συκόμορος, G4809). This lexical overlap in translation traditions reflects botanical ambiguity in the ancient world, though Luke uses distinct Greek terms for the two trees. 1×
