Matthew 21:18-22 - A Barren Fig Tree Cursed
18 At dawn, when he was on his way back into the city, he was hungry; 19 and when he saw a solitary fig tree beside the road, he went to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "Let no man gather fruit from you forever." And at once the fig tree withered away.
20 When his disciples saw this, they were astonished. "How instantaneously," they said, "the fig tree withered!"
21 In reply Jesus said to them, "In solemn truth I tell you that if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Up, cast yourself into the sea!' it shall be done; 22 "and everything that you ask for in your prayers you shall have, if you believe."
12 The next day after leaving Bethany he was hungry, 13 and seeing a fig tree in the distance full of leaves, he came to see if he could find anything on it, and found on it nothing but leaves (for it was not the time of figs). 14 So, addressing the tree, he said, "Let no man ever more eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard it.
