Matthew 21:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

Jesus Curses the Fig Tree^(A)

¹⁸ In the morning, as Jesus returned to the city, he became hungry. ¹⁹ When he saw a fig tree by the road, he went up to the tree and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to the tree, “May fruit never grow on you again!” At once the fig tree dried up.

²⁰ The disciples were surprised to see this. They asked, “How did the fig tree dry up so quickly?”
