"Jesus was hungry"
Another detail that strikes me is that the cause that gave rise to the curse of the fig tree was the fact that Jesus was hungry.
It is true that this shows us the perfect humanity of Jesus, like other occasions in which he tired, slept, sat, was thirsty ... But it does not seem that this is the fundamental purpose when including this detail. In addition, this would be the only occasion in which Jesus performed a "destructive" miracle and thinking about his own needs.

Therefore, we believe that this is also part of the graphic language Jesus was using. In that case, we should not think so much about his physical hunger, but the deep desire he had to find among his people Israel some fruit that would give glory to God. And by the fact of "being hungry", we deduce that he had been looking for some manifestation of this type for a long time without having found it.
Following the interpretation of this symbolic act, we must realize that the curse on the fig tree was intended to illustrate God's judgment on the nation of Israel to which the fig tree represented.
A few days later Jesus told another parable in which he again referred to the Jews who rejected his Messiah, and spoke clearly about the curse that was going to fall on them for this cause.
At first glance it seems that there is not much connection, but if we look at the context, we can realize that the Lord was teaching his disciples how they should react to Jewish unbelief and rejection by God of his people Israel. Undoubtedly, the principles that the Lord expounded here were very useful at the beginning of Christian preaching, and have continued to this day: faith, combined with prayer and forgiveness.
