The Demand for a Sign

(Mark 8:11–13, Luke 12:54–56)

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came [and] tested [Jesus] by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven.

2 

But He replied“When evening comes, you say,‘The weather [will be] fair, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning,‘Today [it will be] stormy, for the sky is red [and] overcast.’ You hypocrites![fn] You know [how] to interpret the appearance of the sky, but not the signs of the times.[fn] 4 [A] wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but vvv none will be given it except the sign of the prophet[fn] Jonah.” Then He left them [and] went away.
