Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

Matthew 21

Matthew 21:18 Then, as he was returning to the city in the morning, he was hungry.

Matthew 21:19 And seeing a certain fig tree beside the way, he approached it. And he found nothing on it, except only leaves. And he said to it, “May fruit never spring forth from you, for all time.” And immediately the fig tree was dried up.

Matthew 21:20 And seeing this, the disciples wondered, saying, “How did it dry up so quickly?”

Matthew 21:21 And Jesus responded to them by saying: “Amen I say to you, if you have faith and do not hesitate, not only shall you do this, concerning the fig tree, but even if you would say to this mountain, ‘Take and cast yourself into the sea,’ it shall be done.

Matthew 21:22 And all things whatsoever that you shall ask for in prayer: believing, you shall receive.”
