The fig tree withers
Finding no fruit on a leafy fig tree, Jesus pronounced judgment upon it, and the disciples later saw it withered from the roots. Jesus used the moment to teach them about faith, prayer, and forgiveness (Mark 11:12-25).

📖 Mark 11:12–14
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.
