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

¹⁸ The next morning, in returning to the city, Jesus became hungry; ¹⁹ And, noticing a solitary fig tree by the road-side, he went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. So he said to it: "Never again shall fruit be gathered off you." And suddenly the fruit tree withered up.

²⁰ When the disciples saw this, they exclaimed in astonishment: "How suddenly the fig tree withered up!"

²¹ "I tell you," replied Jesus, "if you have faith, without ever a doubt, you will do what not only what has been done to the fig tree, but, even if you should say to this hill 'Be lifted up and hurled into the sea!' it would be done. ²² And whatever you ask for in your prayers will, if you have faith, be granted you."

¹² The next day, after they had left Bethany, Jesus became hungry; ¹³ And, noticing a fig-tree at a distance in leaf, he went to it to see if by any chance he could find something on it; but, on coming up to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. ¹⁴ So, addressing the tree, he exclaimed: "May no man ever again eat of your fruit!" And his disciples heard what he said.
