leaf Some languages make a clear distinction between various kinds of leaves, especially a difference between leaves which have parallel veins and those which have branching veins. In MRK 11:13 what is important is that the fig tree was ‘in leaf,’ that is to say, the leaves had already come out after the winter season. In a number of languages a tree in this state may be referred to as ‘a tree which is green.’
