Matthew 16:1-9

1The Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus. So they asked him to show them a miraculous sign from heaven.

2He responded to them, “In the evening you say that the weather will be fine because the sky is red.

3And in the morning you say that there will be a storm today because the sky is red and overcast. You can forecast the weather by judging the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

4“Evil and unfaithful people look for a miraculous sign. But the only sign they will be given is that of Jonah.” Then he left them standing there and went away.

5The disciples had forgotten to take any bread along when they went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

6Jesus said to them, “Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!”

7The disciples had been discussing among themselves that they had not taken any bread along.

8Jesus knew about their conversation and asked, “Why are you discussing among yourselves that you don’t have any bread? You have so little faith!

9Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand and how many baskets you filled?
