Mattityahu 16:4 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:4

A wicked and adulterous generation
He says the same things here, as he did to the Pharisees on a like occasion, in ( Matthew 12:39 ) (See Gill on Matthew 12:39).

And he left them;
as persons hardened, perverse, and incurable, and as unworthy to be conversed with:

and departed:
to the ship which brought him thither, and went in it to the other side of the sea of Galilee; see ( Mark 8:13 ) .

Mattityahu 16:4 In-Context

2 But in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, When it is erev, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is fiery red.

3 And in the boker (morning) you say, There will be stormy weather today, for the sky is overcast fiery red and threatening. You have daas to distinguish the signs of the appearance of the sky, but you can’t discern the signs of the times? [T.N. See Ro 1:18]

4 A dor rah umnaef (an evil and adulterous generation) demands an ot (sign), and no ot will be given it except the ot of Yonah HaNavi. And having left them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went away.

5 When the Moshiach’s talmidim arrived at the other side, they had forgotten to take lechem.

6 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take special precaution against the chametz (swelling leaven) of the Perushim and Tzedukim.
