Context — Teaching on Good and Bad Treesgenerated
Luke 6:44 is part of Jesus' teaching on discernment, illustrating how the nature of a tree is known by its fruit. This metaphor emphasizes that the actions of individuals reveal their true character. In the surrounding verses, Jesus contrasts good and bad trees, leading to a deeper understanding of moral and spiritual integrity, similar to the teachings found in Galatians 5:19-23 about the fruit of the Spirit versus the acts of the flesh.

The Key Word — ἕκαστον, hekastosgenerated
The Greek word ἕκαστος (i.e., *hekastos*) means 'each' or 'every.' It emphasizes individual items or people, as seen in various contexts throughout the New Testament. This term helps convey that each tree is distinct and recognized for its specific fruit.
In the verse, it is used to indicate that every single tree has its own identifiable fruit, reinforcing the idea that actions and results are unique to each individual or entity.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses each to convey the individual nature of the trees. The KJV uses every, which is synonymous in this context.
Where translations differ is primarily in the rendering of specific Greek words. For example, ἀκανθῶν is translated as thorns in many versions, while the BSB opts for brambles.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is γινώσκεται, is known, which governs the subject and the phrases that describe the fruit. The structure illustrates a clear relationship between the subject (the tree) and its identifying characteristics (the fruit).
The verse contains a main clause followed by a subordinate clause explaining what kind of fruit is not gathered from specific types of plants. This structure emphasizes the contrast between the expected and the actual.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
δένδρον appears in the Septuagint, where it is often used to translate the Hebrew word for tree, עֵץ. This connection highlights the continuity of the metaphor of trees and their fruit from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
καρπός, meaning fruit, is also found in the Septuagint, where it conveys the results of actions or the produce of plants, linking the physical and spiritual implications of fruitfulness.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 6:44 teaches that each tree is recognized by its own fruit, meaning that the actions of individuals reveal their true nature. Just as figs cannot be gathered from thornbushes, good actions cannot come from bad sources.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that the true nature of a person is revealed by their actions, similar to how a tree's type is identified by the fruit it produces.
Jesus uses this metaphor to illustrate the principle that good actions come from good sources, and bad actions come from bad sources, emphasizing moral discernment.
This teaching aligns with the themes found in Galatians 5:19-23, where the fruits of the Spirit are contrasted with acts of the flesh.
We can reflect on how our actions and choices reveal our true character and the importance of cultivating good qualities in our lives.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways do my actions reflect my true character?
- How can I ensure that I am producing good fruit in my life?
- What steps can I take to discern the character of others based on their actions?
- How does understanding this teaching impact my relationships with others?
The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Pseudo-Clement references this verse to discuss the relationship between actions and purity in virtue, illustrating the principle that good works are necessary for true virtue.
For virginity of such a kind is impure, and disowned by all good works. For "every tree whatsoever is known from its fruits." "See that you understand what I say: God will give you understanding." [2 Timothy 2:7]Early Church Fathers on Luke 6 →

Read John Trapp on Luke 6 →Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(44) Of thorns men do not gather figs.—The form of the illustration differs slightly from that in St. Matthew, where the thorns are connected with grapes, and the figs with thistles. The word for “bramble bush” is the same as that used in Luke 20:37, and in the LXX. version of Exo 3:2-4, and Deuteronomy 33:16, for the burning “bush” on Sinai. We may note further the use of a different Greek word (that specially connected, as in Revelation 14:18-19, with the gathering of the vintage) for the second “gather” in St. Luke’s report.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Unaquæque enim arbor de fructu suo cognoscitur. Neque enim de spinis colligunt ficus : neque de rubo vindemiant uvam.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Lexicons — every word in Luke 6:44
One dossier per word, with every reference work grouped by kind — Greek lexicons, morphology, Bible dictionaries, topical chains and the English of the translators themselves. The verse sits at the head of each block with the word under study lit, so you never lose your place. The panel above gives the short answer; this is the long one, and it is the part of the page worth indexing.
Every entry below is the lexicographer's own text. Imported from the CrossWire SWORD modules — Abbott-Smith, the full Liddell-Scott-Jones, Strong's, Dodson, the Intermediate LSJ, Robinson and Packard on the Greek, Webster and Cawdrey on the English the translators were using. Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word ἕκαστος (i.e., *hekastos*) means 'each' or 'every.' It is often used with nouns, as in Luke 6:44, or can stand alone, as seen in Acts 4:35. The word can also appear in plural forms or with partitive genitives, indicating individual members of a group. There is some variation in how lexicons present its usage, particularly regarding its grammatical constructions.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

The Greek word δένδρον (lemma: dendron) means 'a tree.' It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, often describing different types of trees, such as good or bad trees in relation to their fruit. The term is likely derived from a root meaning 'oak' and has been used since ancient times, with references in classical literature and the Septuagint.
δένδρον, -ου, τό, a tree: Mt. vii. 17, ete.; γίνεσθαι δένδρον or eis δένδρον, to grow to the shape and size of a tree, Mt. xiii. 32; Lk. xiii, 19. [(Hom., Hdt.), Arstph., Thue. down. ]
δένδρον. The heteroclite pl. δένδρη occurs in P Hal I. 1% (c. Be. 250), where it is laid down that one who plants an olive ora fig-tree must do it 9 ft. from his neighbour’s boundary, τ[ὰ δ᾽] ἄλλα δένδρη πέντε [πό]δας. So in Sy// 802!*! (iii/B.c.) where a blind man ‘incubating ” in the Asclepieum dreamed that the god pulled his eyes open with his fingers, καὶ ἰδεῖν τὰ δένδρη πρᾶτον τὰ ἐν τῶι ἱαρῶι : the resemblance in language to Mk 8*4 may be noted. The same inscr. tells of a man who fell ἀπὸ τοῦ δένδρεος (1.°1—he had climbed ἐπὶ δένδρεόν τι in 1.59) : Attic preserved the dat. pl. δένδρεσι. Perhaps by fusion of δένδρεον and δένδρος (neut.) the regular δένδρον arose, which is normal in Hellenistic. Thus νὰ 53518 (Boeotian—late iv/B.c.) τὰ δένδρα ὅσ᾽ ἂν εἶ ἐν τῶι χωρίωι, 7. 53215 (Ionic—early iv/B.c.) δένδρα ἕμερα μὴ KomTevy—‘‘tame”’ trees are the opposite of “νας, 20. 7907 (i/B.c.)…

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.

PREP PREPosition
In the sense of "against" which survives only in dialectal English (compare Wright, Dialect Dict., I, 470, for examples) is the King James Version rendering of the dative emauto of 1Co 4:4 (the American Standard Revised Version renders this "against"). In classical Greek the same idiom sunoida with dative = "be conscious" or "be cognizant of" a thing.
By
In the expression “by myself” (A.V., 1 Cor. 4:4), means, as rendered in the Revised Version, “against myself.”

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word ἴδιος (i.dios) means 'one's own' or 'private.' It conveys a sense of personal ownership or belonging, often contrasting with what is public or shared. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts referring to personal property, family, and private matters, such as in John 1:11 and Galatians 6:5. The word can also imply distinctiveness or peculiarity, as seen in various classical texts.

The Greek word καρπός (i.e., *karpos*) means 'fruit' and can refer to the produce of trees, vines, and fields. It also has metaphorical uses, indicating results or benefits from actions, such as good works or praise. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including offspring (Lk 1:42) and spiritual fruit (Gal 5:22). Dodson notes it as 'result' or 'gain,' while Liddell-Scott mentions its use in relation to taxes and profits.

Fruit
A word as used in Scripture denoting produce in general, whether vegetable or animal. The Hebrews divided the fruits of the land into three classes:,
(1.) The fruit of the field, “corn-fruit” (Heb. dagan); all kinds of grain and pulse.
(2.) The fruit of the vine, “vintage-fruit” (Heb. tirosh); grapes, whether moist or dried.
(3.) “Orchard-fruits” (Heb. yitshar), as dates, figs, citrons, etc.
Injunctions concerning offerings and tithes were expressed by these Hebrew terms alone (Num. 18:12; Deut. 14:23). This word “fruit” is also used of children or offspring (Gen. 30:2; Deut. 7:13; Luke 1:42;

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),
[in LXX for לֹא, אַיִן, אֵין;]
neg. particle,
not, no, used generally c. indic. and for a denial of fact (cf . μή);
absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH. Introd. § 409); L οὐχ ὀλίγος, Acts xix. 23; οὐχ ἠγάπησαν, Rev. xii. 11; and contrariwise οὐκ before an aspirate, as οὐκ ἕστηκεν, Jn. viii. 44 T; [οὐκ ἕνεκεν, 2 Co. vii. 12 T]; (οὐκ εὗρον, Lk. xxiv. 3; [οὐκ ὑπάρχει, Acts iii. 6] in cod. x [alsoC*; ef. cod.

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.
γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich). Thus the force of the…

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.

The Greek word ἄκανθα (akantha) means a thorn or thornbush, derived from the root for 'point.' It refers to prickly plants and appears in the New Testament in various contexts, including metaphors for challenges or difficulties. Notably, it is used in passages like Matthew 27:29, where it describes the crown of thorns placed on Jesus. The exact species of plant referenced is unclear.
ἄκανθα, -ης, ἡ, (ἀκή a point [but see in ἀκμή]); a. a thorn, bramble-bush, brier: Mt. vii. 16; Lk. vi. 44; Heb. vi. 8; εἰς τὰς ἀκάνθας i. 6. among the seeds of thorns, Mt. xiii. 22; Mk. iv. 7 [L mrg. ἐπί], 18 [Tdf. ἐπί]; Lk. viii. 14 (vs. 7 ἐν μέσῳ τῶν ἀκανθῶν) ; ἐπὶ τὰς ἀκ. i. 6. upon ground in which seeds of thorns were lying hidden, Mt. xiii. 7. b. a thorny plant: στέφανον ἐξ ἀκανθῶν, Mt. xxvii. 29; Jn. xix. 2,—-for bare thorns might have caused delirium or even death; what species of plant is referred to, is not clear. Some boldly read ἀκάνθων, from ἄκανθος, acanthus, bear’s-foot; but the meaning of ἄκανθα is somewhat comprehensive even in prof. writ. ; ef. the class. Grk. Lexx. s. v.

Kenyon (P Lond I. p. 140), calls it ‘‘the Egyptian acacia from which gum arabic is obtained, and whose branches were in early times used for boat-building.” Its pods are mentioned in P Leid X (iii/iv A.D.), a long list of chemical prescriptions : J. 35 (p. 237) ἀκάνθης κεράτια. The name, or derivatives of it, may be seen in P Lond 214}8 8. (a.p. 270-5) (ΞΞ 11. p. 162), 16. 1177277 (a.D. 113) (=TIII. p. 186), P Oxy I. 121‘ (iii/a.p.), 7b. VI. 9091? (A.D. 225), 26.

These words are variously rendered in the Authorized Version By "thorns," "briers," "thistles," etc. Palestine abounded in a great variety of such plants. ("Travellers call the holy land ’a land of thorns.’ Giant thistles, growing to the height of a man on horseback, frequently spread over regions once rich and fruitful, as they do on the pampas of South America; and many of the most interesting historic spats and ruins are rendered almost inaccessible by thickets of fiercely-armed buckthorns.

The Greek word συλλέγω (transliterated as sullegō) means to collect or gather together. It is formed from the prefix σύν (with) and the verb λέγω (to say or speak).

The Greek word σῦκον (lemma: sukon) means 'a fig' and is derived from the fruit of the fig tree (συκῆ). It appears in the New Testament in verses such as Matthew 7:16 and Mark 11:13. The lexicons also note its use in various proverbs and idioms, highlighting cultural references to figs.

The Greek word οὐδέ (oude) is a negative particle that functions as a conjunction meaning 'and not' or 'nor,' and as an adverb meaning 'not even.' It combines elements of negation and exclusion, often appearing in phrases like 'neither... nor.' The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as in Matthew 6:15 and Acts 4:32.
οὐδέ, [fr. Hom. down], a neg. disjunctive conjunction, compounded of ov and δέ, and therefore prop. i. q. but not; generally, however, its oppositive force being lost, it serves to continue a negation. [On the elision of ε when the next word begins with a vowel (observed by Tdf. in eight instances, neglected in fifty-eight), see TW. Proleg. p. 96; cf. WH. App. p. 146; W.§5, 1 a.; B. p. 10 sq.] It signifies 1. and not, continuing a negation, yet differently from οὔτε; for the latter connects parts or members of the same thing, since τέ is adjunctive like the Lat. que; but οὐδέ places side by side things that are equal and mutually exclude each other [(?). There appears to be some mistake here in what is said about ‘mutual exclusion’ (cf. W. § 55, 6): οὐδέ, like δέ, always makes reference to something preceding; οὔτε to what follows also; the connection of clauses negatived by οὔτε is…

The Greek word ἐκ (transliterated as ek) is a preposition that means 'from' or 'out of,' governing the genitive case. It indicates origin, separation, or motion away from a place, time, or cause. In the New Testament, it is used to denote various relationships, such as source or distinction, and appears in contexts like John 6:31 and Matthew 1:3. Different lexicons highlight its versatility in both literal and metaphorical senses.

βάτος (batos) refers to a thorn bush or bramble, with its usage in the New Testament found in passages like Luke 6:44 and Acts 7:30. The word appears in both masculine and feminine forms, reflecting variations in Greek usage. It is derived from Hebrew roots, as noted in the Septuagint, where it consistently appears as masculine.
βάτος, -ov, 7 and (in Mk. xii. 26 GLTTr WH) ὁ, (the latter acc. to Moeris, Attic; the former Hellenistic; οἵ. Fritzsche on Mk. p. 532; W. 63 (62) [ef. 36; B. 12 (11)]), [fr. Hom. down], a thorn or bramble-bush [cf. B. Ὁ. s. v. Bush]: Lk. vi. 44; Acts vii. 30, 35; ἐπὶ τοῦ (τῆς) βάτου at the Bush, i. e. where it tells about the Bush, Mk. xii. 26; Lk. xx. 37; ef. Fritzsche on Ro. xi. 2; [B.D. s. v. Bible IV. 1].
βάτος (1) in the sense of ‘“‘bush” is feminine in Lk 2057, Ac 73°, but masculine in Mk 1228 in accordance with the LXX usage (Exod 324, Deut 335), which Thackeray (Gr i. p. 145) describes as apparently ‘‘ vulgar and Ilellenistic.” See, however, Moeris p. 99, who regards ἢ B. as ἑλληνικῶς, and ὁ B. as ἀττικῶς. The only passage we can cite, P Lond 1214 (iii/A.p.) (=I. p. 99) θὲς ὑπὲρ βάτον, throws no light on the gender: since the context is a φίλτρον κάλλιστον, in which kind of literature ‘‘meaning is no great matter,” βάτον may as well be a Hebrew measure as a bramble-bush. H. A. A. Kennedy (Sozrces of NT Greek, p. 78) includes βάτος in a list of Biblical words for which Aristophanes is practically the only earlier authority. But we must remember Homer (Od. 247°). Kaibel has two epitaphs from Italy of the imperial age: 546° οὐ βάτοι, οὐ τρίβολοι τὸν ἐμὸν τάφον ἀμφὶς ἔχουσιν, and 5485…

All the Old Testament references and the New Testament references, except Lu 6:44, are to the same "bush," namely, Moses' "burning bush"). From its etymology ceneh clearly denotes a "thorny" plant, as does the corresponding batos in the Septuagint and New Testament. In the Latin versions rubus, i.e. "bramble," is used as equivalent. Several varieties of bramble flourish in Palestine, of which the most common is Rubus discolor, but this is not an indigenous plant in Sinai. It…
Bush
In which Jehovah appeared to Moses in the wilderness (Ex. 3:2; Acts 7:30). It is difficult to say what particular kind of plant or bush is here meant. Probably it was the mimosa or acacia. The words “in the bush” in Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37, mean “in the passage or paragraph on the bush;” i.e., in Ex. 3.
The Hebrew word seneh occurs only in those passages which refer to Jehovah’s appearance to Moses "in the flame of fire in the bush." (Exodus 3:2,3,4; 33:16) It is quite impossible to say what kind of thorn bush is intended; but it was probably the acacia a small variety of the shittim tree found in the Sinai region.

σταφυλή is a feminine noun meaning a bunch of grapes, often used in the context of ripe grape-clusters. It appears in the New Testament in Matthew 7:16, Luke 6:44, and Revelation 14:18.
