Requesting a sign in the sky

Mat 16:1–4

Mark 8:11–13

Luke 12:54–56

16Some people from the Pharisees’ party and some from the Sadducee sect approached Yeshua, and, trying to tempt him, they asked him to make a sign in the sky to show his power to them.[ref] 2But he replied, 3 4This is an evil and adulterous generation that’s wanting a sign, and no sign will be given to it except for the sign of Yonah.Then he left them and went away.[ref]


11Some men from the Pharisee party came out to Yeshua and started arguing with him. They were checking him out and wanted to see a miracle.[ref] 12Yeshua grieved inside and asked, “Why do you people need to see a miracle before you’ll believe me? Actually, no miracle will be done for this generation.[ref]

13So Yeshua left in the boat again and crossed to the other side of the lake.


54Yeshua also told the crowds, “Whenever you see a cloud coming from the west, you all say that it’s going to rain, and sure enough it does. 55Likewise if there’s a wind from the south, you all say that it’s going to be a scorcher, and sure enough it is. 56Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the sky and the ground, but you all don’t know how to scrutinise this time period.
