Jesus Puts a Curse on a Fig Tree

(Matthew 21.18,19)

¹² When Jesus and his disciples left Bethany the next morning, he was hungry. ¹³ From a distance Jesus saw a fig tree covered with leaves, and he went to see if there were any figs on the tree. But there were none, because it wasn't the season for figs. ¹⁴ So Jesus said to the tree, “Never again will anyone eat fruit from this tree!” The disciples heard him say this.
