Mark 11:12-14?

The incident was a practical example judgment. The fig tree was representing Israel. A tree full of leaves normally would have fruit, (Israel in their splendor should be producing fruit) but this one was cursed because it had none. The fact that the cleansing of the temple is sandwiched between to two parts of the account of the fig tree may underscore the theme of judgment.
