Gospel according to Matthew

and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.

Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

Then he sent away the multitudes, got into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven.

But he answered them, "When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'

In the morning, 'It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can't discern the signs of the times!

An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah." He left them, and departed.
