Matthew 16:1-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

Pharisees Test Jesus

16 ^(A)The ^(B)Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they ^(C)asked Him to show them a ^[a]sign from heaven. ² But He replied to them, “^[b](D)When 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.’ ^(E)Do you know how to discern the ^[c]appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times? ^4 (F)An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a ^[d]sign; and a ^[e]sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.
