马太福音21:18~22
咒诅无花果树
(可11‧12-14,20-24)
18早晨回城的时候,他饿了,
19看见路旁有一棵无花果树,就走到跟前,在树上找不着什么,不过有叶子,就对树说:「从今以后,你永不结果子。」那无花果树就立刻枯干了。
20门徒看见了,便希奇说:「无花果树怎么立刻枯干了呢?」
21耶稣回答说:「我实在告诉你们,你们若有信心,不疑惑,不但能行无花果树上所行的事,就是对这座山说:『你挪开此地,投在海里!』也必成就。
22你们祷告,无论求什么,只要信,就必得着。」
Jesus Curses a Fig Tree
18Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry.
19Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!”Immediately the tree withered.
20When the disciples saw this, they were amazed. “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?” they asked.
21Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.
22If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”

灵修指南
洁净圣殿的耶稣,第二天再次从伯大尼前往耶路撒冷。在路上,耶稣与门徒们看见一棵只有叶子却没有结果子的无花果树。耶稣看见这棵树,便诅咒它永远不能结果子(19节)。事实上,耶稣咒诅的对象是以无花果树为象征的以色列人,以及圣殿里的宗教领袖。当时的以色列人不但没有活出神的荣耀,反倒忘记了神,致使圣殿里充斥着许多罪恶之事,耶稣的诅咒意味着将来对他们的审判。耶稣指责的对象中,包含当时许多的法利赛人和文士,他们正如只有叶子却结不了果子的无花果树,展现出虚有其表的信仰生活。我们也应当注意,不要误以为外在的表现可以遮掩内心的败坏。只要我们信靠耶稣,便能成为按时结果子的树、多结果子的门徒。
