Matthew 16:2-4
King James Version
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

2 Él respondió: «Ustedes conocen el dicho: “Si el cielo está rojo por la noche, mañana habrá buen clima; 3 si el cielo está rojo por la mañana, habrá mal clima todo el día”. Saben interpretar las señales del clima en los cielos, pero no saben interpretar las señales de los tiempos.[a] 4 Solo una generación malvada y adúltera reclamaría una señal milagrosa, pero la única señal que les daré es la del profeta Jonás[b]». Luego Jesús los dejó y se fue.
