Um, excuse me (pushes up glasses), but it was actually the fig tree and not the fig themselves that Jesus had a problem with. In fact, it was the LACK of figs that caused our Lord and MESSIAH to turn into a drama queen and ruin the day for the disciples.
P.S. In all seriousness, this is what I never understood. If you had god-like powers, you were walking all day and getting pretty hungry, and a nearby fig tree wasn't bearing fruit for you would you:
a) Use those powers to make the tree bloom fruit for you and your hungry disciples?
b) Kill the tree in a fit of rage and use it as an abject lesson?
