And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.

And when they were going by in the morning, they saw the fig-tree dead from the roots.

Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;

And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

But as to the dead coming back to life; have you not seen in the book of Moses, about the burning thorn-tree, how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
