Andwhen he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only,
and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
And seeing a fig tree
afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon:
and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs
was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. ... And in the morning,
as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
