Matteo 16:2

Listen to Matteo 16:2
2 Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Quando si fa sera, voi dite: Farà tempo sereno, perciocchè il cielo rosseggia.

Matteo 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:2

He answered and said unto them
Knowing full well their views, and having wrought sufficient miracles to confirm his Messiahship, he thought fit to give them no other answer than this:

when it is evening, ye say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is
red;
when the sun is setting, it is a common thing for you to say, looking up to the heavens, and observing the face and colour of them, that it is like to be fair weather; no rain, that night, nor perhaps the next day, for the sky is red like fire, through the rays of the sun; which show the clouds to be very thin, and so will soon waste away, and consequently fine weather must follow.

Matteo 16:2 In-Context

1 ED accostatisi a lui i Farisei, e i Sadducei, tentandolo, lo richiesero di mostrar loro un segno dal cielo.
2 Ma egli, rispondendo, disse loro: Quando si fa sera, voi dite: Farà tempo sereno, perciocchè il cielo rosseggia.
3 E la mattina dite: Oggi sarà tempesta, perciocchè il cielo tutto mesto rosseggia. Ipocriti, ben sapete discernere l’aspetto del cielo, e non potete discernere i segni de’ tempi!
4 La gente malvagia ed adultera richiede un segno, ma segno alcuno non le sarà dato, se non il segno del profeta Giona. E, lasciatili, se ne andò.
5 E quando i suoi discepoli furon giunti all’altra riva, ecco, aveano dimenticato di prender del pane.
