(Lesson 5149)(03-08-26) Matthew 16:1-4
“The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.”
In today’s quote, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and Sadducees for their inability to see truth; though they can predict the weather by observing the sky, they are unable to see the clear "signs of the times" regarding the coming of the Messiah. He refused their demand for a miraculous sign from heaven, stating that no sign will be given to their wicked generation except the "sign of the prophet Jonas." ~
