Matthew 16:1-3

The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs

1 ¹And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and ²to test him ³they asked him to show them ⁴a sign from heaven.

2 He answered them,^{[a] 5}"When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'

3 And in the morning, 'It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.'⁶You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret ⁷the signs of the times.
