¹ Some Pharisees and Sadducees were on him again, pressing him to prove himself to them. ² He told them, "You have a saying that goes, 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight; ³ red sky at morning, sailors take warning.' You find it easy enough to forecast the weather--why can't you read the signs of the times? ⁴ An evil and wanton generation is always wanting signs and wonders. The only sign you'll get is the Jonah sign." Then he turned on his heel and walked away.
