ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς γένηται ἁπαλὸς καὶ τὰ φύλλα ἐκφύῃ,	ὅταν ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς ἁπαλὸς γένηται καὶ ἐκφύῃ τὰ φύλλα,	Lk 21:30: ὅταν προβάλωσιν ἤδη,
γινώσκετε	γινώσκετε	βλέποντες ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτῶν γινώσκετε
ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος·	ὅτι ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν·	ὅτι ἤδη ἐγγὺς τὸ θέρος ἐστίν·

Mt 24:32: Now learn the parable of the fig tree:	Mk 13:28: And learn the parable of the fig tree:	Lk 21:29: And He spoke to them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees.
When its branch already may have become tender and it puts forth leaves,	When its branch already has become tender, and it puts forth leaves,	Lk 21:30: When they sprout already,
you know	you know	looking for yourselves, you know
that the summer [is] near.	that summer is near.	that already summer is near.
Mt 24:33: So also you, when you see all these things,	Mk 13:29: So also you, when you see these things coming to pass,	Lk 21:31: So also you, when you see these things coming to pass,
know	know	know
that He is near, at [the] doors.	that He is near, at [the] doors.	that the kingdom of God is near.

A parable:

“As soon as the fig tree sprouts leaves, you know that the summer is near.

Likewise, when you see these things, you know that he is near.”
