He answered them: when it is evening, you say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is red. Jesus' response uses the weather-reading capacity of the sign-seekers against them: they can read the sky's signs but not the signs of the times. The irony is sharp: the people who are demanding a sign from heaven already know how to read signs from heaven when the stakes are merely meteorological.
