18 à 22 Le figuier maudit, symbole des destinées d'Israël.
Dans ce qui précède, Matthieu, selon son habitude de grouper les faits, sans égard à la chronologie, raconte de suite l'entrée de Jésus à Jérusalem et la purification du temple, puis ajoute l'histoire du figuier maudit.
Marc, dont le récit est plus exact, place l'histoire de ce figuier avant la purification du temple, celle-ci n'ayant eu lieu que le lendemain de l'entrée triomphale.
Les fausses doctrines ont tendance à fleurir facilement dans le monde, elles sont la conséquence de la malédiction de Christ. Le figuier qui ne possède aucun fruit perd rapidement ses feuilles.
L’image de cet arbre représente particulièrement bien l'état de la nation et du peuple Juifs. Notre Seigneur Jésus n’a trouvé que des « feuilles », parmi les enfants d’Israël. Après avoir rejeté Christ, ils furent frappés d'aveuglement spirituel et leur cœur s’endurcit ; par la suite, leur pays fut anéanti et leur peuple dispersé. Le Seigneur montra ainsi Sa Justice.
Craignons donc vraiment la ruine qui s'est abattue sur ce figuier stérile !
