Matthew

Matthew 21:17–20

¹⁷Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.

¹⁸In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry. ¹⁹Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately the tree withered.

²⁰When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
