Matthew 16:5

Matthew 16:5

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.”

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have taken no bread.”

8 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you¹ have brought no bread?
