The Pharisees and Sadducees Demand Signs
16 (B)And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and (C)to test him (D)they asked him to show them (E)a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them,[a] (F)“When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ (G)You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret (H)the signs of the times. 4 (I)An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So (J)he left them and departed.
The Leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. 6 Jesus said to them, “Watch and (K)beware of (L)the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 7 And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” 8 But (M)Jesus, aware of this, said, (N)“O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 (O)Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember (P)the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10 Or (Q)the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11 How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? (R)Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 (S)Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of (T)the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

The Demand for a Sign(A)
16 The Pharisees and Sadducees(B) came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.(C)
2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.[a](D) 4 A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”(E) Jesus then left them and went away.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread. 6 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them. “Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”(F)
7 They discussed this among themselves and said, “It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”
8 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, “You of little faith,(G) why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread? 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(H) 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?(I) 11 How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” 12 Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.(J)

The Pharisees Demand a Sign
11 (C)The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, (D)seeking from him (E)a sign from heaven (F)to test him. 12 And (G)he sighed deeply (H)in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And (I)he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod
14 Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; (J)beware of (K)the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of (L)Herod.”[b] 16 And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. 17 And (M)Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? (N)Do you not yet perceive (O)or understand? (P)Are your hearts hardened? 18 (Q)Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke (R)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And (S)the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
