Discovery BoxMatthew 16:2-4 
Context16:2 He 1 said, “When evening comes you say, ‘It will be fair weather, because the sky is red,’ 16:3 and in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, because the sky is red and darkening.’ 2 You know how to judge correctly the appearance of the sky, 3 but you cannot evaluate the signs of the times. 16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then 4 he left them and went away.
