Matthew 16:2-4

16:2 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.

[16:2]  ¹ tn Grk “But answering, he said to them.” The construction has been simplified in the translation and δέ (de) has not been translated.

[16:3]  ² tn Or “red and gloomy” (L&N 14.56).

[16:3]  ³ tn Grk “The face of the sky you know how to discern.”

[16:4]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
