16 Some people from the Farisaios’ party and some from the Saddoukaios (Sadducee) sect approached Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), and, trying to tempt him, they asked him to make a sign in the sky to show his power to them.[ref] 2 But he replied, 3 ◘ 4 “This 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 (Jonah).”[ref] Then he left them and went away.

8:11 The religious leaders want to see a miracle

11 Some men from the Farisaios party came out to Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) and started arguing with him. They were checking him out and wanted to see him do a miracle.[ref] 12 Yeshua 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]

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

12:54 Understanding the times

54 Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) 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. 55 Likewise if there’s a wind from the south, you all say that it’s going to be a scorcher, and sure enough it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the sky and the ground, but you all don’t know how to scrutinise this time period.
