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

¹⁸ Now early in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry. ¹⁹ After noticing a fig tree by the road he went to it, but found nothing on it except leaves. He said to it, "Never again will there be fruit from you!" And the fig tree withered at once.

²⁰ When the disciples saw it they were amazed, saying, "How did the fig tree wither so quickly?"

²¹ Jesus answered them, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' it will happen. ²² And whatever you ask in prayer, if you believe, you will receive."

¹² Now the next day, as they went out from Bethany, he was hungry. ¹³ After noticing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, he went to see if he could find any fruit on it. When he came to it he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. ¹⁴ He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.
