Matthieu 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.

Matthieu 16:2 In-Context

1 Les pharisiens et les sadducéens abordèrent Jésus et, pour l'éprouver, lui demandèrent de leur faire voir un signe venant du ciel.
2 Jésus leur répondit: Le soir, vous dites: Il fera beau, car le ciel est rouge;
3 et le matin: Il y aura de l'orage aujourd'hui, car le ciel est d'un rouge sombre. Vous savez discerner l'aspect du ciel, et vous ne pouvez discerner les signes des temps.
4 Une génération méchante et adultère demande un miracle; il ne lui sera donné d'autre miracle que celui de Jonas. Puis il les quitta, et s'en alla.
5 Les disciples, en passant à l'autre bord, avaient oublié de prendre des pains.
