Matthew 16:1-4

International Standard Version

Interpreting the Time^(A)

16 When the Pharisees and Sadducees arrived, in order to test Jesus^[a] they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. ² He replied to them, “You say,

You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, yet you can’t interpret the signs of the times?^{[b] 4} An evil and adulterous generation craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then he left them and went away.
