Matthew 7:19: Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Contradiction with Mark 11:14

In contrast to Daniel 4:12 where the tree is flourishing, Mark 11:14 describes Jesus cursing a fig tree for not bearing fruit, leading it to wither, which suggests an end rather than continuance of life.

Mark 11:14: And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it].

Unlike the fruitful and life-giving tree in Daniel 4:12, Luke 13:7 features a barren fig tree that is intended to be cut down, highlighting unproductiveness and removal rather than abundance.
