Exegesis
A temporal subordinate clause follows, introduced by hotan {ὅταν | hótan} with the aorist middle subjunctive genetai {γένηται | génētai}, indicating a contingent but expected situation: ēdē ho klados autēs hapalos genetai {ἤδη ὁ κλάδος αὐτῆς ἁπαλὸς γένηται | ḗdē ho kládos autês hapalòs génētai}, “when already its branch becomes tender.”
In context — Mark 13:28
Now from the fig tree , learn the parable : when its branch has already become tender and puts out the leaves, you know that the summer is near.
