O ye hypocrites, yee can discerne the face of the skie, but can ye not discerne the signes of the times? 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen vnto it, but the signe of the Prophet Ionas. And hee left them, and departed. 5And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. 6¶ Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heed and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the Sadduces.
