And they cast out many demons, and anointed many feeble men with olive oil, and healed them.

Jesus and His disciples came to a place called Gethsemene [Note: This was an olive orchard on a hillside just east of Jerusalem]. He said to His disciples, "You sit here while I [go away and] pray."

Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if He would find anything on it. But He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

Peter remembring the tree, said, master, see the fig-tree, which you cursed, is quite withered.

Now as they passed in the morning they noticed the fig tree had withered to the root.

But learn a parable from the fig-tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
