Matthew 21:18-22 - A Barren Fig Tree Cursed
18 Early in the morning as He was on His way to return to the city He was hungry, 19 and seeing a fig-tree on the road-side He went up to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. "On you," He said, "no fruit shall ever again grow." And immediately the fig-tree withered away.
20 When the disciples saw it they exclaimed in astonishment, "How instantaneously the fig-tree has withered away!"
21 "I solemnly tell you," said Jesus, "that if you have an unwavering faith, you shall not only perform such a miracle as this of the fig-tree, but that even if you say to this mountain, 'Be thou lifted up and hurled into the sea,' it shall be done; 22 and everything, whatever it be, that you ask for in your prayers, if you have faith, you shall obtain."
12 The next day, after they had left Bethany, He was hungry. 13 But in the distance He saw a fig-tree in full leaf, and went to see whether perhaps He could find some figs on it. When however He came to it, He found nothing but leaves (for it was not fig time) 14 and He said to the tree, "Let no one ever again eat fruit from thee!" And His disciples heard this.
