He answer't, and quo' he, "Whan it is e'enin ye say, "Fair wather; for the sky is reid!" And i' the mornin, "Broken wather the day, for the sky is reid and lowerin'! Ye ken hoo to judge the scaum o' the sky; -- can ye no the signs o' the times? An ill-deedie and adulterous race seek eftir some sign; and nae sign sall be gi'en till't but the sign o' Jonah." And he gaed aff frae them.
And the disciples cam to the ither side, and forgat to tak breid. And Jesus said to them, "Tak tent, and troke ye-na w' the barm o' the Pharisees and Sadducees!" And they spak ane to anither, sayin, "We took nae breid!"
And Jesus, kennin it, said, "O ye o' the sma' faith, why sould ye reason amang yersels for that he hae nae breid? Dae ye no ken, dae ye no mind, the fyve bannocks o' the fyve thoosan': and hoo mony baskets ye gaither't? Naither the seeven bannocks o' the fowr thoosan', and hoo mony creels ye gaither't? Hoo is't ye dinna ken I spak to-ye-na anent breid; but to tak tent and beware o' the teachins o' the Pharisees and the Sadducees!"
Than saw they hoo he bad them no beware o' the barm o' the breid, but o' the doctrines o' the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
