Matthew 16:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 16:1

The Pharisees and Sadducees Seek a Sign

1 Then the ^aPharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’;

3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’¹ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

4 ^aA wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of¹ the prophet Jonah.” And He left them and departed.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees

5 Now ^awhen His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
