Grapes as gathered or harvested fruit · dominant
In Luke 6:44, the singular accusative form occurs in the contrast that grapes are not harvested from a thorn bush; in Matthew 7:16, the plural accusative form occurs where grapes are not gathered from thorns. In Revelation 14:18, the plural nominative form identifies the vine's grapes as ripe in the command to harvest.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “grapes” in all three verses, while Revelation 14:18 also speaks of harvesting “the clusters of the vine.” The exact correspondence of “clusters” to the term cannot be isolated.
