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

¹⁸ Early next morning when He returned to the city, He felt hungry. ¹⁹ As He saw a fig tree by the roadside, He came to it but found on it nothing but leaves, and said to it, "Never again shall a fig grow on you!" And the fig tree at once withered up.

²⁰ When the disciples saw it, they were dumbfounded, and asked, "How is it that the fig tree withered up all at once?"

²¹ And Jesus answered them, "I solemnly say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt at all, you will not only do the sort of wonder 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 whatever you ask for in prayer, if you believe it, you will get it."

¹² Next day, while they were walking over from Bethany, He felt hungry. ¹³ Now in the distance He saw a fig tree covered with leaves, and He went up to it to see if He might find some figs on it, but when He got to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs. ¹⁴ So He spoke to it and said, "Never again may anyone eat a fig from you!" And His disciples were listening to it.
