Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if there was any fruit on it. But when He reached it, He found nothing on it except leaves, since it was not the season for figs.

Seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came to see if perhaps he might find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.
Strong's King James
And{G2532} seeing{G1492}{(G5631)} a fig tree{G4808} afar off{G3113} having{G2192}{(G5723)} leaves{G5444}, he came{G2064}{(G5627)}, if{G1487} haply{G686} he might find{G2147}{(G5692)} any thing{G5100} thereon{G1722}{G846}: and{G2532} when he came{G2064}{(G5631)} to{G1909} it{G846}, he found{G2147}{(G5627)} nothing{G3762} but{G1508} leaves{G5444}; for{G1063} the time{G2540} of figs{G4810} was{G2258}{(G5713)} not{G3756} yet.
The F.O.G *
(13) Seeing from a distance a fig tree having leaves, He came to it to perhaps find anything in it. He found nothing but leaves for it wasn't the figs season.
The F.O.G Message *
[13] In the distance, He spotted a fig tree in full leaf. Approaching it hoping to find fruit, He found only leaves—the tree's abundant foliage falsely advertising fruitfulness, much like the showy but spiritually barren religious system He was about to confront.
Young's Literal Translation
and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,
