44. ἕκαστον δένδρον. ‘Each tree’ (not as in A.V[142] every tree, which would be πᾶν δένδρον).
[142] A.V. Authorised Version.
οὐ … συλλέγουσιν σῦκα. The simile might have been illustrated by pointing to one of the common Eastern gardens or orchards with its festooning vines and fig-trees just beyond the rough hedges of prickly pear.
