Matthew 16:1-4

Modern English Version

The Demand for a Sign^(A)

16 The Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing Him, asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

² He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ ³ and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and overcast.’ O you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. ⁴ A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.” So He left them and departed.
