{{en|On this folio from Walters manuscript W.592, Jesus curses the fig tree.}} The artist is Ilyas Basim Khuri Bazzi Rahib, believed to be an Egyptian Coptic monk.

The disciples represents those who are in love and knowledge from the Lord; to see represents to understand; and marvelling represents the awe we feel when we see the Lord's power at work. This verse, then, shows the surprise the true believers felt when they saw that the Jewish church would actually wither and die in an instant because of its emptiness, to be replaced by the Primitive Christian church.
