16 1 The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 16 2 His answer was: Some manuscripts here insert 'In the evening you say, "It will be fine weather, for the sky is red"; 16 3 "and in the morning you say, "It will be stormy today; the sky is red and lowering." You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky; can you not interpret the signs of the times?' 16 4 'It is a wicked generation that asks for a sign; and the only sign that will be given it is the sign of Jonah.' So they went off and left them.
