Did Jesus curse in the Bible?

If in cursing you mean bad words well no. But jesus did curse a fig tree by telling them not to eat them.

He did cuss, He just didn't use cuss words we have today. He called Herod a fox in Luke 13:32, which was like calling someone a B-word. And He used the word Raca in Matt 5:22, which means worthless, empty-headed, sort of like "poop-for-brains" in today's terms.

If by "curse" you mean "use vulgar swear words", then the answer is no. However, he did pronounce a curse upon a fig tree in Matthew 21:18-22.

That depends on what you mean by curse. He never "cursed" in the sense of using curse words/cuss words. However, he did utter a few curses. For example, in Matthew 21:18-22 (also see Mark 11:12-14, 19-25) Jesus cursed a fig tree for failing to bear fruit. Matthew 25:41 also contains a curse against those who refuse to help the needy.
