And Jesus answered and said unto it,
No man eat fruit of you hereafter forever.
And his disciples heard it.
All Commentaries on Mark 11:14 Go To Mark 11
Jerome
AD 420
He went in the morning to the Jews, and visits us in the eventide of the world. Hungering therefore, that is, desiring the salvation of mankind, He saw the fig tree, which is, the Jewish people, having leaves, or, the words of the Law and the Prophets, and He sought upon it the fruit of good works, by teaching them, by rebuking them, by working miracles, and He found it not, and therefore condemned it. Do thou too, unless thouwouldest be condemned by Christ in the judgment, beware of being a barren tree, but rather offer to Christ the fruit of piety which He requires.
