Un otrā dienā, kad tie no Betānijas izgāja, tad Viņam gribējās ēst. Un, ieraudzījis no tālienes kādu vīģes koku, kam bija lapas, Viņš piegāja pie tā, vai tanī ko neatrastu; un, pie tā piegājis, Viņš neatrada nekā kā vien lapas, jo nebija vīģu laiks. Un Jēzus sāka par to runāt un sacīja: "Lai neviens nemūžam vairs neēd augļus no tevis." Un Viņa mācekļi klausījās. ~ Marka 11:13-14

ja parasts cilvēks bezjēdzīgi sabojātu koku, viņš būtu vandalis, vai ne?

ja vien es nebūšu kristietis.

Bet Jēzus atbildēja un sacīja tiem: "Patiesi Es jums saku: ja jums ir ticība un jūs nešaubāties, tad jūs ne vien tā varēsit darīt ar vīģes koku, bet arī, kad jūs teiksit šim kalnam: celies un meties jūrā, - tad tas notiks. Un visu, ko jūs ticībā lūgsit, to jūs dabūsit." ~ Mat. 21:21-22

In his essay "Why I Am Not A Christian" Bertrand Russell argues that a divine figure would either know that the tree would not have figs or could have simply produced the figs by a miracle and thus finds the story illogical.

[..] Then there is the curious story of the fig tree, which always rather puzzled me. You remember what happened about the fig tree. "He was hungry; and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, He came if haply He might find anything thereon; and when He came to it He found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it: 'No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever' . . . and Peter . . . saith unto Him: 'Master, behold the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.'" This is a very curious story, because it was not the right time of year for figs, and you really could not blame the tree. I cannot myself feel that either in the matter of wisdom or in the matter of virtue Christ stands quite as high as some other people known to history. I think I should put Buddha and Socrates above Him in those respects.
