Mark 11:12-14

The King Comes to Jerusalem: Fig Tree, Temple Judgment, Faith, Forgiveness, and Authority

Mark 11 moves from royal entry to temple inspection, from symbolic fig-tree judgment to prophetic temple judgment, from withered-tree teaching on faith and forgiveness to a direct authority challenge by Jerusalem's leaders.

12 The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.

13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.

14 Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.
