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

Matthew 21:18-22

18 In the morning as he returned into the city, he was a hungry. 19 when seeing a fig-tree by the way, he came to it, and finding nothing thereon, but bare leaves, said to it, may you never more bear fruit. and presently the fig-tree withered away.

20 upon which the disciples said to one another, much surpriz'd, how came the fig-tree to wither away so suddenly?

21 Jesus answered them, I declare to you, if ye have a full assurance of faith, ye shall not only be able to do this to a fig-tree, but if ye should even say to this mountain, be thou removed, and cast into the sea; it should be done. 22 and whatever ye shall ask in prayer, with faith, ye shall receive.

Mark 11:12-14

12 On the morrow when they had left Bethany, he was press'd with hunger. 13 and observing at a distance a fig-tree full of leaves, he went up to it to see if he could find any fruit upon it. but when he came to it, he found it had nothing but leaves, (for it was not the season for that sort of fig.) 14 thereupon Jesus said to the fig-tree, "no one shall ever eat any fruit of yours." and his disciples took notice of it.
