Greek Commentary for Matthew 24:32
Present active subjunctive according to Westcott and Hort. If accented εκπυηι ekphuēi (last syllable), it is second aorist passive subjunctive (Erasmus). [source]
More strictly, the parable which she has to teach. Rightly, therefore, Rev., her parable. [source]
From κλάω , to break. Hence a young slip or shoot, such as is broken off for grafting. Such were the “branches” which were cut down and strewed in the Lord's path by the multitudes (Matthew 21:8). [source]

Lit., maketh, etc. Rev., putteth out. Peculiar to Mark. Matthew has becometh a tree. On branches, see note on Matthew 24:32. One of the Talmudists describes the mustard-plant as a tree, of which the wood was sufficient to cover a potter's shed. Another says that he was wont to climb into it as men climb into a fig-tree. Professor Hackett says that on the plain of Akka, toward Carmel, he found a collection of mustard-plants from six to nine feet high, with branches from each side of a trunk an inch or more in thickness. Dr. Thomson relates that near the bank of the Jordan he found a mustard-tree more than twelve feet high. [source]

Present middle participle, linear action. See Matthew 24:32-36 for details of Mark 13:28-32 (the Parable of the Fig Tree). [source]
See on Matthew 24:32. [source]
This parable of the fig-tree (Mark 13:28-32; Matthew 24:32-35) Luke applies to “all the trees.” It is true about all of them, but the fig tree was very common in Palestine. [source]
Not harvest, but summer. Old word, but in the N.T. only here (Mark 13:28; Matthew 24:32). [source]
Occurring only in this chapter. Both this and κλάδος , branch (see on Matthew 24:32; see on Mark 11:8) are derived from κλάω , to break. The word emphasizes the ideas of tenderness and flexibility. [source]
See on Matthew 24:32; see on Mark 11:8. The derivation of κλάδων branchesfrom κλάω tobreak, is exhibited in the word-play between the noun and the verb: kladon exeklasthesan A wild olive-tree ( ἀγριέλαιος )To be taken as an adjective, belonging to the wild olive. Hence Rev., correctly, rejects tree, since the Gentiles are addressed not as a whole but as individuals. Meyer says: “The ingrafting of the Gentiles took place at first only partially and in single instances; while the thou addressed cannot represent heathendom as a whole, and is also not appropriate to the figure itself; because, in fact, not whole trees, not even quite young ones are ingrafted, either with the stem or as to all their branches. Besides, Romans 11:24contradicts this view.” [source]
