Greek Commentary for Luke 6:44
The fruit of each tree reveals its actual character. It is the final test. This sentence is not in Matthew 7:17-20, but the same idea is in the repeated saying (Matthew 7:16, Matthew 7:20): “By their fruits ye shall know them,” where the verb συλλεγουσιν epigno4sesthe means full knowledge. The question in Matthew 7:16 is put here in positive declarative form. The verb is in the plural for “men” or “people,” sullegousin See note on Matthew 7:16. [source]

Matthew has τριβολῶν , thistles. The word occurs only once outside of Luke's writings, in Mark 12:26, where it is used as the familiar title of a section of the Pentateuch. Luke also uses it in the same way (Luke 20:37). He was doubtless acquainted with it medicinally, as it was extensively used by ancient physicians. Galen has a chapter on its medicinal uses, and the medical writings abound in prescriptions of which it is an ingredient. Galen also has a saying similar to our Lord's: “A farmer could never make a bramble bear grapes.” It is the word employed by the Septuagint for the bush out of which God spoke to Moses. [source]
Lit., a cluster of grapes. [source]
