A Barren Fig Tree Cursed

12And on the next day as* they were departing from Bethany, he was hungry. 13And when he* saw from a distance a fig tree that had leaves, he went to see if perhaps he would find anything on it. And when he* came up to it he found nothing except leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14And he responded and* said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you any more forever!”d And his disciples heard it.*
