Why did Jesus curse a fig tree for being out of seasaon?

Honestly, like he had no one better to rebuke at that time. And don't say because he was hungry - dude made his own food more than once in the Bible.



Poor, innocent defenseless fig tree. Big, bad Jesus proving his masculinity to his boys.

I think you are way off. This was nothing to do with arrogant behaviour.



The fig tree is an allegorical way of referring to Israel in the Old Testament. In another gospel passage now unfortunately changed, Jesus talks about John being a leaf**. When the leaf (John) appeared, he said that those who followed his teaching would need to bear the fruits of repentance otherwise they would be cut down***. So when Jesus looked for, but saw no fruit on the real fig tree he cursed it and it died. This was a sign to Israel of what would happen to them because they did not respond well to John's message.



Jesus spoke more through his actions than his words, but few people understand that language.
Reply:Maybe that is why christian conservatives hate nature, because jesus did.
Reply:(No, the fig tree represented the nation of Isreal)
Reply:Because when the Lord comes back to judge it will be out of season for most. We should always be ready and bearing fruit for the Lord.
Reply:It was not out of season, it had no fruit. Jesus knew the seasons, He wasn't stupid. He went to the tree expecting it to have fruit because it should have had fruit at that time of the year.



The fig tree is a symbol (type) of Israel.
Reply:Poor tree. No wonder he had a big cross stapled on his back.
