Of course it literally happened--the Bible never lies. But the reason Jesus cursed the fig tree was to make a point, not that He was pissed off at a fig tree. God did symbolic things all the time. He created rainbows to show that He wouldn't try to wipe out all of humanity ever again. That was a metaphor, but rainbows are nevertheless real.

However, when the Bible is read strictly literally, it is perfectly non-self-contradictory.
