Matthew 21:18-20

New International Reader's Version

Jesus Makes a Fig Tree Dry Up

¹⁸ Early in the morning, Jesus was on his way back to Jerusalem. He was hungry. ¹⁹ He saw a fig tree by the road. He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Right away the tree dried up.

²⁰ When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?” they asked.
