The Pharisees and Saducees tempt Jesus

Saint Matthew - Chapter 16

The Pharisees and Saducees tempt Jesus. J-J Tissot

[1] Et accesserunt ad eum pharisaei et sadducaei tentantes : et rogaverunt eum ut signum de caelo ostenderet eis.
And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven.

[2] At ille respondens, ait illis : Facto vespere dicitis : Serenum erit, rubicundum est enim caelum.
But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.

[3] Et mane : Hodie tempestas, rutilat enim triste caelum. Faciem ergo caeli dijudicare nostis : signa autem temporum non potestis scire?
And in the morning: Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

[4] Generatio mala et adultera signum quaerit : et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonae prophetae. Et relictis illis, abiit.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away.

Totus tuus ego sum 

Et omnia mea tua sunt;

Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
