Grapes are fruit expected from a vineyard’s vine. A vineyard was fenced, cleared of stones, planted “with the choicest vine,” and furnished with a wine-press, yet it “brought forth wild grapes” (2 Nephi 15:2).
The owner asked the inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah why the vineyard brought forth wild grapes when he looked for grapes (2 Nephi 15:3-4). Jesus taught, “Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles” (3 Nephi 14:16).
