Arcana Coelestia # 2372
2372. 'And will he surely judge?' means, Will they teach us? This is clear from the meaning of 'judging' as teaching. 'Righteousness' has reference to the practice of good, but 'judgement' to instruction in truth, as shown in 2235. Consequently 'judging' in the internal sense means instructing or teaching. Teaching truth is the same as teaching what is good since all truth looks to good.
Luke 13:6-10
6
He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.
7
He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'
8
He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.
9
If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"
10
He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.
