Matthew 21:18-22 - A Barren Fig Tree Cursed
18 In the morning as he returned into the city again, he hungered, 19 and spied a fig tree in the way, and came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it, "Never fruit grow on thee hence forwards." And anon the fig tree withered away.
20 And when his disciples saw that, they marveled saying, "How soon is the fig tree withered away!"
21 Jesus answered, and said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, if ye shall have faith, and shall not doubt, ye shall not only do that which I have done to the fig tree: but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, take thyself away, and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done. 22 And whatsoever thing ye shall ask in your prayers if ye believe, ye shall receive it."
12 And on the morrow, when they were come out from Bethany, he hungered, 13 and he spied a fig tree afar off, having leaves, and went to see whether he might find anything thereon: but when he came thereto, he found nothing but leaves. For the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said to it, "Never man eat fruit of thee hereafter while the world standeth." And his disciples heard it.
