Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? The Bible records in the gospel of Matthew and the gospel of Mark that while traveling from Bethany with His disciples, Jesus, being hungry, spots a fig tree in the distance. When He approaches the fig tree He notices that the tree has leaves, but no figs--no fruit! In response, Jesus curses the fig tree and immediately, it withers. What does this fig tree represent? What is the significance of the absence of fruit and Jesus' response? Is this a message to Israel? Journey with Dr. Randal Reese as he explains why Jesus curses the fig tree.

Passages of Study:
Matthew 21:18-22
"18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. 19 And when 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. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away! 21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

Mark 11:12-14
"12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 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. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it."
