Matthew 16:1-4

Pharisees and Sadducees Test Jesus

1 ^aThe ^bPharisees and Sadducees came up, and putting Jesus to the test, they ^casked Him to show them a ^{▼▼I.e., confirming miracle}sign from heaven. 2 But He replied to them, “ ^{▼▼Early mss do not contain the rest of v 2 and v 3
,} ^fWhen it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ ^gYou know how to discern the ^{▼▼Lit face}appearance of the sky, but are you unable to discern the signs of the times? 4 ⁱAn evil and adulterous generation wants a ^{▼▼I.e., confirming miracle}sign; and so a ^{▼▼I.e., confirming miracle}sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.
