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

¹ Then the Pharisees and the Sadducees came, with a captious design, and desired him to show them some miracle in the sky.

² but he answered them, in the evening you foretel fair weather: when the sky is of a bright red. ³ and in the morning, a foul day: when the sky is of a dusky red. hypocrites, can ye judge of the appearance of the sky, and yet not discern the signs of these times? ⁴ a wicked degenerate race demand a miracle; but no miracle shall they have beside that of the prophet Jonas. and so leaving them, he went away.

⁵⁴ Then he said to the people, when you see a cloud rise out of the west, you say, it is just going to rain; and so it happens. ⁵⁵ and when the south wind blows, you say, there will be heat; and so it happens. ⁵⁶ Hypocrites, you can judge of the phoenomena of the earth, and of the sky, but why can't you discern the present times?
