Matthew 16:1-4
Authorized (King James) Version
16 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 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 lowring. 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.

Leaders Demand a Miraculous Sign
16 One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.
2 He replied, “You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow; 3 red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.’ You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times![a] 4 Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.[b]” Then Jesus left them and went away.

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
求神蹟
16 有幾個法利賽人和撒都該人來試探耶穌,要求祂顯個天上的神蹟給他們看。
2 耶穌回答說:「傍晚的時候,你們看見天邊出現紅霞,就說明天一定是晴天; 3 早晨的時候,你們看見天色又紅又暗,就說今天必有風雨。你們懂得分辨天色,卻不能分辨時代的徵兆。 4 一個邪惡淫亂的世代想看神蹟,可是除了約拿的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給他們看。」於是耶穌離開他們走了。
