Winers Grammar, 90 (86);
Buttmann, 68 (60);
Krüger, § 40, under the word

Matthew 24:32 and
Mark 13:28; (others, retaining the same accentuation, regard it as 2 aorist active subjunctive intransitive, with
τά φύλλα as subject; but against the change of subject see Meyer or Weiss). But Fritzsche, Lachmann,
Treg., others have with reason restored (after Erasmus)
ἐκφύῃ (2 aorist passive subjunctive), which Griesbach had approved:
when the leaves hare grown out — so that
τά φύλλα is the subject.
