and when he saw a solitary fig tree beside the road, he went to it, but found nothing on it but leaves. And he said to it, "Let no man gather fruit from you forever." And at once the fig tree withered away.

When his disciples saw this, they were astonished. "How instantaneously," they said, "the fig tree withered!"
