Exegesis

The narrative sequence elthen {ἦλθεν | ēlthén} ‘he came’ and heuren {εὗρεν | heurén} ‘he found’ marks the search, with ouden {οὐδὲν | ou-dén} ‘nothing’ narrowed by the conditional clause ei me phulla monon {εἰ μὴ φύλλα μόνον | ei mē phú-lla món-on} ‘if not only leaves’.

In contextMatthew 21:19

And seeing a fig tree beside the road, Jesus went to it and found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said to it, “May fruit never again come from you forever,” and the fig tree withered immediately.
