Luke 13:6-9 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
6 He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.  7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?’  8 But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.  9 And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’”

Mark 11:12-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
The Fig Tree Withered
12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry.  13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.  14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”

And His disciples heard it.
