Senses in use

  1. Gathering fruit from vines or trees · dominant

    In Luke 6:44, the present active plural form occurs in the statement that figs are not collected from thorns and grapes not from a thorn bush; the APB renders the clause, “nor do they harvest grapes from a thorn bush.” In Revelation 14:18 and Revelation 14:19, aorist active forms occur with the vine of the earth and a sickle; the APB renders “harvest the clusters of the vine of the earth” and “harvested the vine of the earth.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “harvest” for the grape-related clauses in all three verses, including “harvest the clusters” and “harvested the vine.” These renderings confirm the clauses' overall fruit-gathering context rather than isolate every nuance of the Greek form.
