Pharisees Test Jesus

1 aThe bPharisees° and Sadducees° came° up, and testing° Jesus, they casked° Him to show° them a Isign° from heaven°. 2 But He replied° to them, IaWhen it is evening°, you say°, ‘[It will be] fair° weather°, for the sky° is red°.’ 3 And in the morning°, ‘[There will be] a storm° today°, for the sky° is red° and threatening°.’ aDo you know° how° to discern° the Iappearance° of the sky°, but cannot°° [discern] the signs° of the times°? 4 aAn evil° and adulterous° generation° seeks° after° a Isign°; and a Isign° will not be given° it, except° the sign° of Jonah°.” And He left° them and went° away°.
