Exegesis
The imperative idete {Ἴδετε | Í-de-te} ‘look’ shifts the focus from narration to attentive observation, and it governs the coordinated accusatives tēn sykēn {τὴν συκῆν | tḕn sy-kên} ‘the fig tree’ and panta ta dendra {πάντα τὰ δένδρα | pán-ta tà dén-dra} ‘all the trees’. The movement from a single fig tree to all trees creates a representative contrast that prepares the listener for the interpretive point in the next verse. In English, a colon and quotation marks mark the transition into the quoted instruction.
