UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἕτεροι δὲ πειράζοντες

others and testing

The pronoun him refers to Jesus. Alternate translation: [Other people challenged Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

σημεῖον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐζήτουν παρ’ αὐτοῦ

/a/_sign from /the/_sky /were/_seeking from him

Luke uses the term heaven to refer to God by association, since heaven is the abode of God. Alternate translation: [demanding that he ask God to do a miracle]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σημεῖον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐζήτουν παρ’ αὐτοῦ

/a/_sign from /the/_sky /were/_seeking from him

The implication is that the people who were challenging Jesus wanted him to ask God for a miracle to prove that his authority came from God. Alternate translation: [by demanding that he ask God to do a miracle to show that God had given him his authority]
