Luke 21:30

Their buds, branches, and leaves; the Vulgate Latin adds, "of themselves": ye see and know of your own selves;
without any hint, or direction from others, the case is so plain and obvious; the Syriac and Arabic versions read, "of them"; the trees, by their putting forth their buds and leaves; the Persic and Ethiopic versions leave out the clause "of yourselves"; and none of the Oriental versions lead the word see: the summer is now nigh at hand:
see ( Matthew 24:32 ) .
