The Withering of a Fig Tree Painting

The withering of a fig tree is described in the Book of St. Mark, Chapter 11, as well as the Book of St. Matthew, Chapter 21. It happened on the same day as Jesus drove the money changers from the Jerusalem temple. In Mark 11, we read that on the next day St. Peter pointed to the withered tree in amazement as they were passing it by. St. Peter's words prompted the discourse of faith: "Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree, which thou didst curse, is withered away. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God. Amen I say to you, that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his heart, but believe, that whatsoever he saith shall be done; shall be done unto him. Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye pray, believe that you shall receive; and they shall come unto you." The painting shows Christ and Peter next to the withered tree. In the background we see the mountain casting itself into the sea, and Jesus driving out the money changers.
