SCRIPTURE

"And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away." — Mark 11:21 (ASV)

You cursed. To curse means to devote to destruction. This is the meaning here. It does not, in this context, imply blame, but simply that it should be destroyed.
