Mark 11:12-14

Bible Text

[12] The next day, when they had come out from Bethany, he was hungry. [13] Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. [14] Jesus told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" and his disciples heard it.

Bethany and Bethphage were villages on or near the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem. As Jesus traveled from Bethany toward Jerusalem, the fig tree incident occurred on the approach to the city where he would confront its fruitless worship and unbelief.
