የማቴዎስ ወንጌል 16:1-12 (አማ 54)
“ፈሪሳውያንና ሰዱቃውያንም ቀርበው ሲፈትኑት ከሰማይ ምልክት እንዲያሳያቸው ለመኑት። እርሱ ግን መልሶ እንዲህ አላቸው፦ በመሸ ጊዜ፦ ሰማዩ ቀልቶአልና ብራ ይሆናል ትላላችሁ፤ ማለዳም፦ ሰማዩ ደምኖ ቀልቶአልና ዛሬ ይዘንባል ትላላችሁ። የሰማዩን ፊትማ መለየት ታውቃላችሁ፥ የዘመኑንስ ምልክት መለየት አትችሉምን? ክፉና አመንዝራ ትውልድ ምልክት ይሻል፥ ከነቢዩም ከዮናስ ምልክት በቀር ምልክት አይሰጠውም። ትቶአቸውም ሄደ።ደቀ መዛሙርቱም ወደ ማዶ በመጡ ጊዜ እንጀራ መያዝን ረሱ። ኢየሱስም፦ ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሰዱቃውያን እርሾ ተጠንቀቁና ተጠበቁ አላቸው። እነርሱም፦ እንጀራ ባንይዝ ነው ብለው እርስ በርሳቸው ተነጋገሩ። ኢየሱስም አውቆ እንዲህ አላቸው፦ እናንተ እምነት የጕኦደላችሁ፥ እንጀራ ስለ ሌላችሁ ስለ ምን እርስ በርሳችሁ ትነጋገራላችሁ? ገና አታስተውሉምን? ለአምስቱ ሺህ አምስቱ እንጀራ፥ ስንት መሶብም እንዳነሣችሁ ትዝ አይላችሁምን? ወይስ ለአራቱ ሺህ ሰባቱ እንጀራ፥ ስንት ቅርጫትም እንዳነሣችሁ ትዝ አይላችሁምን? ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሰዱቃውያን እርሾ እንድትጠበቁ ብዬ ስለ እንጀራ እንዳልተናገርኋችሁ እንዴት አታስተውሉምን? እነርሱም ከፈሪሳውያንና ከሰዱቃውያን ትምህርት እንጂ ከእንጀራ እርሾ እንዲጠበቁ እንዳላላቸው ያን ጊዜ አስተዋሉ።”
Matthew 16: 1-12 (ESV)
“And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed. When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread. Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
