In the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, there is a story about a fig tree that was cursed because it had no fruit. When Jesus was hungry, He found a fig tree and looked around ~~the tree~~ to see if there ~~were~~ any fruit. However, the fig tree had only leaves but no fruit. Jesus said that the fig tree would never bear fruit again.

A man planted a fig tree and waited for it to bear fruit. However, the fig tree did not produce any fruit for three years. So he said to the vineyard-keeper to cut down the fig tree. Then, the keeper asked the man to leave the fig tree ~~for him to~~ dig around it and fertilizer it. He added that if it would not bear fruit the next year, the master could cut it down.

===Jesus’ Work and the Interpretation of the Parable===

====Fig Tree====

The fig tree is ~~common~~ in Israel as the representative tree of the country. Jesus was born in Israel ~~and~~ lived for over thirty years, so He must have known the season for figs. Despite that, He cursed the fig tree for no fruit. It was ~~to prophesy something~~.

The fig tree is commonly known in Israel as the representative tree of the country. Jesus was born in Israel, where He lived for over thirty years, so He must have known the season for figs. Despite that, He cursed the fig tree for not having any fruit. This was a prophecy.

In the Bible, the fig tree represents Israel.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Jeremiah+24%3A5&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3|title=Jeremiah 24:5|quote=}}</ref> The fruit Jesus looked for on the fig tree refers to those who have true faith in Jesus and the [[gospel]] in Israel.

====A Man Who Looked for Fruit====

In the ~~parable~~ of the ~~fig tree~~ in the Gospel of Luke, the man who looked for fruit on the fig tree for three years but did not find any refers to Jesus. Jesus preached the gospel in Israel for three years. After the ascension of Jesus, the saints of the early Church preached the gospel of [[Jesus Christ]], but the Jews still refused to accept it.

====The Fruitless Fig Tree====

Israel, who did not accept the gospel, is compared to the fig tree that bore no fruit. Just as the fruitless fig tree withered from the roots and was cut down, Israel, who rejected Jesus, was destroyed by Rome.
