Question

In The Chosen, a man repeats “do not hide your face from me!” while weeping under one of these things after the synagogue he had been designing collapsed. When the sixth seal is opened in Revelation, the stars fall from the sky like objects falling off of one of these things in a winter gale. In John, Nathanael believes in Jesus after Jesus declares to him, “when you were under [one of these things], I saw you.” Mark (*) sandwiches (10[1])a passage about one of these things around the Cleansing of the Temple. (10[1])In a parable, a gardener insists he will place manure around one of these trees and allow it one (-5[1])more year to grow before deciding whether to cut it down. In Mark and Matthew, Jesus examines one of these trees but finds (10[1])it has only leaves. For 10 points, name this kind of fruit tree which Jesus curses to symbolize the Last Judgement. ■END■
