'Bear' in the Bible

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, because your petition [in prayer] was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will name him John.

Therefore produce fruit that is worthy of [and consistent with your] repentance [that is, live changed lives, turn from sin and seek God and His righteousness]. And do not even begin to say to yourselves [as a defense], ‘We have Abraham for our father [and so our heritage assures us of salvation]’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children (descendants) for Abraham [for God can replace the unrepentant, regardless of their heritage, with those who are obedient].

Even now the axe [of God’s judgment] is swinging toward the root of the trees; so every tree that does not produce good fruit is being cut down and thrown into the fire.”

and,‘they will lift You up on their hands,So that You do not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.

Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverted generation! How long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here [to Me].”

But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well, because you weigh men down with burdens [man-made rules, unreasonable requirements] which are hard to bear, and you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers [to lighten the load].

So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers, because they [actually] killed them, and you repair or build their tombs.

and if it bears fruit after this, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”

This will be a time and an opportunity for you to testify [about Me].

and you will be continually hated by everyone because of [your association with] My name.
