New Testament

Matthew 16:1-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And Pharisees and Sadducees approached him to test him, and they asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

2. But he responded by saying to them: "When evening arrives, you say, 'It will be calm, for the sky is red,'

3. and in the morning, 'Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and gloomy.' So then, you know how to judge the appearance of the sky, but you are unable to know the signs of the times?

4. An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. And a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah." And leaving them behind, he went away.

5. And when his disciples went across the sea, they forgot to bring bread.

6. And he said to them, "Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees."

7. But they were thinking within themselves, saying, "It is because we have not brought bread."

8. Then Jesus, knowing this, said: "Why do you consider within yourselves, O little in faith, that it is because you have no bread?

9. Do you not yet understand, nor remember, the five loaves among the five thousand men, and how many containers you took up?

10. Or the seven loaves among the four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up?
