The Withered Tree and the Cleansed Temple: Mark 11:12-25

The next morning, leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. He saw a fig tree in leaf and went to find fruit on it. But when he reached it, he found nothing but leaves—it was not the season for figs.

Then he said something strange: "May no one ever eat fruit from you again."

The disciples heard it. They would remember.

They continued to Jerusalem, to the temple courts, and there Jesus erupted.
