1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came to test16:1. Since the test was in an attempt to discredit Jesus, this could also be translated "came to trap Jesus." Jesus, demanding that he show them a sign from heaven.
2 Jesus replied, "In the evening you say, ‘It’ll be a fine day tomorrow, because the sky is red,’ 3 while in the morning you say, ‘It’ll be bad weather today, because the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to predict the weather by what the sky looks like, but you can’t recognize the signs of the times! 4 An evil and adulterous generation are the ones who look for a miraculous sign, and no sign will be given to them except the sign of Jonah." He left them and went away.
