Strong's King James
(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
[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.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
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,
