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. (15[1])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 (15[1])[one of these things], I saw you.” Mark (*) sandwiches a passage about (-5[1])one of these things around the Cleansing of the Temple. In a parable, a gardener insists he will place manure around one of these trees and allow it one more year to grow before deciding (10[1])whether to cut it down. In Mark and Matthew, Jesus examines (10[1])one of these (10[1])trees but finds it has only leaves. For 10 points, name this kind of fruit tree which Jesus curses to symbolize the Last Judgement. ■END■ (10[1])
