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

¹⁸ He was hungry in the morning when he returned to the town. ¹⁹ He saw a fig tree along the side of the road. He went to it and saw nothing on it but leaves. He told it: You will not bare fruit from this time forward, forever. Immediately the fig tree became dry and dead.

²⁰ The disciples were surprised when they saw it. They asked how the fig tree became dry so quickly?

²¹ Jesus answered: If you have faith and do not doubt, I make this promise to you: You will be able to do what was done to this fig tree. When you say to this mountain, be moved into the sea, it will be done. ²² You will receive the things you ask for in prayer when you have faith.

¹² The next day they left Bethany. He was hungry. ¹³ He saw a fig tree far off. When he got closer he found nothing but leaves for it was not the season of figs. ¹⁴ He spoke about the tree that no man would ever eat fruit from it from that day forward.
