12 The next day, as they came back from Beit-Anyah, he felt hungry.
12
And on the day after, when they had come out from Bethany, he was in need of food.
13 Spotting in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came up to it, he found nothing but leaves; for it wasn't fig season.
13
And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.
14 He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" And his talmidim heard what he said.
14
And he said to it, Let no man take fruit from you for ever. And his disciples took note of his words.
