"when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh." — Luke 21:30 (ASV)
When they now shoot forth Their buds, branches, and leaves; the Vulgate Latin adds, "of themselves": you see and know of your own selves ; without any hint, or direction from others, the case is so plain and obvious; the Syriac and Arabic versions read, "of them"; the trees, by their putting forth their buds and leaves; the Persic and Ethiopic versions leave out the clause "of yourselves"; and none of the Oriental versions read the word see: the summer is now nigh at hand : see (Matthew 24:32) .
