A Textual Commentary On Matthew 3:8
(a) ποιήσατε οὖν καρπὸν – This is said to be a Hebraism as עשׂה פרי (ποιοῦν καρπόν in LXX) is so used in Gen 1:11 and elsewhere.
(b) καρποὺς ἄξιους in Textus Receptus is accusative plural masculine. καρπὸν ἀξίον is accusative singular masculine. According to Bloomfield, καρποὺς ἄξιους seems to be more suitable to the plurals in the context, and as being suggested by ποιήσατε οὖν καρποὺς ἀξίους τῆς μετανοίας in Luke 3:8 compared with Matt 21:34.
