MATTHEW—NOTE ON Matthew 21:18 Matthew discusses the cursing of the fig tree and the disciples’ reaction together, treating the events topically (compare note on v. Matthew 21:12). The tree was cursed most likely on Monday morning on the way into the city. On Tuesday morning the disciples react to the tree’s withering on their way back to Jerusalem (compare Mark 11:12, Mark 11:20).
