Matthew 16:1-4

The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs

1 ^aAnd the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and ^bto test him ^cthey asked him to show them ^da sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts omit the following words to the end of verse 3} ^f“When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ ^gYou know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret ^hthe signs of the times. 4 ⁱAn evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So ^jhe left them and departed.
