Matthew 16:1-10 ▼

1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, questioned Him, to show to them a sign from Heaven,

2 and He answering said to them, “Evening having come, you say, Fair weather, for the sky is red,

3 and at morning, Foul weather today, for the sky is red—gloomy; hypocrites, you indeed know to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times you are not able!

4 An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet”; and having left them He went away.

5 And His disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves,

6 and Jesus said to them, “Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees”;

7 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”

8 And Jesus having known, said to them, “Why reason you in yourselves, you of little faith, because you took no loaves?

9 Do you not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets you took up?

10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
