Matthew 21:18-22 - A Barren Fig Tree Cursed

Matthew 21:18-22

18 In the morning as he went back to the city, he grew hungry, 19 and seeing a fig tree by the roadside, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "No more fruit shall ever grow on you!" And the fig tree withered up at once.

20 When the disciples saw it, they were amazed and said, "How did the fig tree come to wither up immediately?"

21 Jesus answered, "I tell you, if you have faith and have no doubt, you will not only do what I have done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Get up and throw yourself into the sea,' it will be done. 22 And everything that you pray for with faith, you will obtain."

Mark 11:12-14

12 On the next day, after they had left Bethany, he felt hungry. 13 And he saw in the distance a fig tree covered with leaves, and he went up to it to see if he could find any figs on it. When he reached it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs. 14 And he spoke to the tree and said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you any more!" And his disciples heard it.
