His Life by William E. Barton

THE PHARISEES AND SADUCCEES DEMAND A SIGN.

And the Pharisees and Sadducees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.

But he answered and said unto them, |When it is evening, ye say, 'It will be fair weather,' for the heaven is red. And in the morning, 'It will be foul weather to-day,' for the heaven is red and lowering. Ye know how to discern the face of the heaven; but ye cannot discern the signs of the times.|

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith. |Why doth this generation seek a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.|

And he left them, and again entering into the boat departed to the other side.

And they forgot to take bread; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf. And he charged them, saying, |Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.|

And they reasoned one with another, saying, |We have no bread.|

And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, |O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?|

They say unto him, |Twelve.|

|And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up?|

And they say unto him, |Seven.|

And he said unto them, |How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.|

Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
