After seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.

“Learn this parable from the fig tree: As soon as its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaves his wife behind, and leaves no child, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.

Early in the morning, as they were passing by, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up.

Then Peter remembered and said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that You cursed is withered.”
