'Fig tree' in the Bible

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)

In the early morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig-tree withered to the roots;

and Peter, recollecting, said to Him, "Look, Rabbi, the fig-tree which you cursed is withered up."

"Learn from the fig-tree the lesson it teaches. As soon as its branch has become soft and it is bursting into leaf, you know that summer is near.
