Matthew 16:1-4 - The Signs Of The Times

¹ The Pharisees and the Sadducees came to tempt him; they asked him to show them a sign from the heaven.

² But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather, for the heaven is glowing with an aurora. ³ And in the morning, It will be foul weather today, for the heaven has an aurora and is cloudy. O ye hypocrites, ye know how to make decisions based on the face of the heaven, and regarding the signs of the times are ye unable? ⁴ A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and no sign shall be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them and departed.

⁵⁴ And he said also to the people, When ye see the cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower comes, and so it is. ⁵⁵ And when the south wind blows, ye say, There will be heat, and it comes to pass. ⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
