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

¹ And the pharisees and sadducees came to Him, and captiously asked Him to shew them a sign from heaven.

² But He answered them, In the evening ye say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red: ³ and in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day, for the sky is red and lowring. Ye hypocrites, can ye distinguish the appearance of the sky, and not discern the signs of these times? ⁴ This wicked and degenerate race demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah. And so He left them and went away.

⁵⁴ He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves: ⁵⁵ and when ye observe the south-wind blowing, ye say there will be heat, and it cometh to pass. ⁵⁶ Ye hypocrites, ye know how to discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time?
