Yeshua kills the fig tree

Mat 21:18–22

Mark 11:12–24

21:18 Yeshua kills the fig tree

(Mark 11:12-14)

18In the morning as he headed back into the city, Yeshua was hungry. 19He saw a single fig tree near the road, but when he got close, it only had leaves on it, so he spoke to it, “You will never again bear fruit,” and immediately the fig tree withered up.

20His followers who saw this happen were amazed and asked each other, “How did that tree instantly wither up?”

21[ref]I can assure you all,Yeshua answered, “if you have faith and don’t doubt, not only could you do that to a fig tree, you could tell this hill to move away and go into the sea, and it would happen. 22You’d be able to do everything—anything that you request in prayer and believe.


11:12 Yeshua curses a fig tree

(Mat. 21:18-19)

12The next day after they’d left Bethania, Yeshua was hungry. 13From a distance he noticed a fig tree that was in leaf so he went over to see if there was any fruit on it, but when he reached it there was only leaves because it wasn’t the right season for figs. 14So he spoke to the tree, “No one in this age will ever eat fruit from you again.(His followers heard him say that.)

11:14 Yeshua upsets the traders inside the temple

(Yhn 2:13-22, Mat. 21:12-17, Luke 19:45-48)

15Then they came back into Yerushalem and on into the temple where Yeshua started driving out the sellers and the buyers that were trading in there. Then he tipped over the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the ones selling doves, 16and stopped others from carrying goods through the temple. 17[ref]He said, “Isn’t it written in the Scriptures,

My house will be known as a house of prayer for all the nations’?

But all of you have turned it into a sanctuary for swindlers.

18When the chief priests and the religious teachers heard this, they started looking for a way that they could destroy him, because they were afraid of him and the way that the crowd marvelled at this teaching.

19Every evening, Yeshua and his apprentices would go out of the city to stay overnight.

11:19 Yeshua gives a lesson on moving mountains

(Mat. 21:20-22)

20As they entered the city again in the morning, Yeshua’s apprentices noticed that the fig tree was totally dead. 21Peter remembered what he had said to the tree, and commented, “Teacher, that fig tree that you cursed has withered up.”

22Yeshua responded, “Use your faith in God. 23[ref]I can assure you that if anyone tells a mountain to go into the sea and doesn’t doubt in their mind but believes that what they’re saying will happen, then it will. 24So I tell you all that anything you ask God for in your prayers, if you believe that you have received it, then you will.

20[ref]It’s because your faith is so small,” he told them, “because I can assure you that if your faith was a big as a mustard seed, you’d be able to command a mountain to move and it would move, and then there’d be nothing that you all couldn’t do.
