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

Matthew 21:18-22

18 Now in the morning, when returning into the city, he was hungry: 19 and seeing a fig-tree at the road side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only: and saith unto it, Let no fruit spring from thee henceforth for ever: and immediately the fig-tree withered entirely away.

20 And when his disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered away!

21 But Jesus addressing them, said, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith, and entertain no doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it be done. 22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Mark 11:12-14

12 And on the morrow, as they were coming out of Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig-tree at a distance, full of leaves, he went to it, expecting probably that he might find some fruit upon it: and when he came to it, he found none, only leaves: for it was not a [good] season for figs. 14 And Jesus spake and said to it, Let no man eat fruit from thee henceforth for ever. And his disciples heard him.
