You are referring to Mark's version. Matthew may have been bothered by this fact, too. Note that Matthew gives no such disclaimer.
Yes. It's Mark 11. And according to him, Jesus killed a tree for not having fruits in a fruitless season. :down:

That was Little Red Riding Hood. Goldilocks was the one who broke into a house, ate thier food, busted up the furniture and passed out. Maybe she was drunk. Maybe Jesus was drunk when he was yelling at a tree.
