Jesus Is Asked for a Miraculous Sign

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to put Jesus to the test. They asked him to show them a miraculous sign from heaven.

Matthew 16:1 In-Context

1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to put Jesus to the test. They asked him to show them a miraculous sign from heaven.
2 He replied, "In the evening you look at the sky. You say, 'It will be good weather. The sky is red.'
3 And in the morning you say, 'Today it will be stormy. The sky is red and cloudy.' You know the meaning of what you see in the sky. But you can't understand the signs of what is happening right now.
4 An evil and unfaithful people look for a miraculous sign. But none will be given to them except the sign of Jonah." Then Jesus left them and went away.
5 The disciples crossed over to the other side of the lake. They had forgotten to take bread.
