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.  
6 Then Jesus said to them, a“Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”

Matthew 16:2

When it is evening - There are certain signs of fair and foul weather, which ye are in the constant habit of observing, and which do not fail. - The signs of the times: the doctrine which I preach, and the miracles which I work among you, are as sure signs that the day-spring from on high has visited you for your salvation; but if ye refute to hear, and continue in darkness, the red and gloomy cloud of vindictive justice shall pour out such a storm of wrath upon you as shalt sweep you from the face of the earth.
