Matthew 16:1-11 ▼

1 And having come, the Pharisees and Sadducees, testing Him, asked Him to show them a sign out of heaven.

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

3 and in the morning, ‘Today a storm, for the sky is red, being overcast.’ Indeed, you⁺ 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 after a sign, and a sign will not be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And having left them, He went away.

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

6 And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

7 And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”

8 But having known this, Jesus said, “Why do you⁺ reason among yourselves, O little of faith, that you⁺ have no loaves?

9 Do you⁺ not yet perceive? Nor do you⁺ remember the five loaves for the five thousand and how many hand-baskets you⁺ took up,

10 nor the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you⁺ took up?

11 How do you⁺ not perceive that I did not speak to you⁺ about loaves? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
