Cursing of the Fig Tree

"And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."

"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."

Was Jesus angry?

Not in petulance. He used the tree as a living lesson on judgment for fruitless religion, fitting the temple cleansing that frames the account.

Why curse the tree when it wasn't fig season?

Fig trees in leaf normally bore early figs. The display of leaves without fruit pictured Israel's profession without reality.
