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.

12The next day, when they had left Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13Seeing 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.
14Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.
