Exegesis
The plural presents συνάγουσιν {συνάγουσιν | sy-ná-gou-sin} and βάλλουσιν {βάλλουσιν | bál-lou-sin} shift the action from the isolated branch to the handling of gathered branches, and the final singular καίεται {καίεται | kaí-e-tai} ‘is burned’ can naturally be represented in English as a collective plural, preserving the force of the image without ambiguity.
In context — John 15:6
If anyone does not remain in Me , he is thrown outside like the branch , and it withers; they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
