Luke 12:54–56

16:1 Requesting a sign in the sky

(Mark 8:11-13, Luke 12:54-56)

16[ref]Some from the Pharisee party and some from the Sadducee sect approached Yeshua, and trying to tempt him they asked him to make a sign in the sky to show his power to them. 2But in answer he said to them, 3 4[ref]This is an evil and adulterous generation that’s wanting a sign, and no sign will be given to it except for the sign of Yonah.Then he left them and went away.


8:11 The religious leaders want to see a miracle

(Mat. 16:1-4)

11[ref]Some men from the Pharisee party came out to Yeshua and started arguing with him. They were checking him out and wanted to see a miracle. 12[ref]Yeshua grieved inside and asked, “Why do you people need to see a miracle before you’ll believe me? Actually, no miracle will be done for this generation.

13So Yeshua left in the boat again and crossed to the other side of the lake.


12:54 Understanding the times

(Mat. 16:2-3)

54Yeshua also told the crowds, “Whenever you see a cloud coming from the west, you all say that it’s going to rain, and sure enough it does. 55Likewise if there’s a wind from the south, you all say that it’s going to be a scorcher, and sure enough it is. 56Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the sky and the ground, but you all don’t know how to scrutinise this time period.
