A Barren Fig Tree Cursed

18 Now in the morning, as Jesus returned to the city [of Jerusalem], He became hungry. 19 Upon seeing a fig tree along side of the road, He approached it [i.e., expecting to find fruit on it], but found nothing but leaves. He said to the tree, "There will not be fruit on you ever again." Immediately the fig tree withered up. 20 When His disciples saw this, they marvelled, saying, "How could the fig tree wither up so suddenly?"
