Exegesis
The main verb legei {λέγει | lé-gei} ‘he says’ introduces a performative declaration using the negative adverb meketi {Μηκέτι | mē-ké-ti} ‘no longer’ with the aorist middle subjunctive genetai {γένηται | gé-nē-tai} in mēketi ek sou karpos genetai eis ton aiona {Μηκέτι ἐκ σοῦ καρπὸς γένηται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα | mē-ké-ti ek sou kar-pós gé-nē-tai eis ton ai-ō-na} ‘May fruit never again come from you into the age’.
In context — Matthew 21:19
And seeing a fig tree beside the road, Jesus went to it and found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said to it, “May fruit never again come from you forever,” and the fig tree withered immediately.
