As the crowds increased, Jesus said,“ This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

When the crowds were increasing, he began to say,“ This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

As the crowd pressed in on Jesus, he said,“ This evil generation keeps asking me to show them a miraculous sign. But the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah.

As the crowds were increasing, he began saying,“ This generation is an evil generation. It demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say,“ This generation is a wicked generation; it demands a sign, and so no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say,“ This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.

And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

As the crowds were increasing, He began saying:“ This generation is an evil generation. It demands a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

As the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say,“ This generation is a wicked generation; it looks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say,“ This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet.

Others tested Jesus by asking for a sign from heaven.

The Pharisees came and began to ask Jesus questions. They wanted to test him. So they asked him for a sign from heaven.He sighed deeply. He said,“ Why do you people ask for a sign? What I’m about to tell you is true. No sign will be given to you.”

Some of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law came to Jesus. They said,“ Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”He answered,“ Evil and unfaithful people ask for a sign! But none will be given except the sign of the prophet Jonah.Jonah was in the belly of a huge fish for three days and three nights. Something like that will happen to the Son of Man. He will spend three days and three nights in the grave.The men of Nineveh will stand up on judgment day with the people now living. And the Ninevites will prove that these people are guilty. The men of Nineveh turned away from their sins when Jonah preached to them. And now something more important than Jonah is here.The Queen of the South will stand up on judgment day with the people now living. And she will prove that they are guilty. She came from very far away to listen to Solomon’s wisdom. And now something more important than Solomon is here.

Jews require signs. Greeks look for wisdom.

During that time a crowd of many thousands had gathered. There were so many people that they were stepping on one another. Jesus spoke first to his disciples.“ Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees,” he said.“ They just pretend to be godly.

“ You unbelieving and evil people!” Jesus replied.“ How long do I have to stay with you? How long do I have to put up with you?” Then he said to the man,“ Bring your son here.”

So they asked him,“ What sign will you give us? What will you do so we can see it and believe you?

Suppose anyone is ashamed of me and my words among these adulterous and sinful people. Then the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Then the Jewish leaders asked him,“ What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do this?”

John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing. He said to them,“ You are like a nest of poisonous snakes! Who warned you to escape the coming of God’s anger?

Large crowds were traveling with Jesus. He turned and spoke to them. He said,“ Anyone who comes to me must hate their father and mother. They must hate their wife and children. They must hate their brothers and sisters. And they must hate even their own life. Unless they do this, they can’t be my disciple.

So the people of today will be punished. They will pay for all the prophets’ blood spilled since the world began.

“ You stubborn people! You won’t obey! You won’t listen! You are just like your people of long ago! You always oppose the Holy Spirit!Was there ever a prophet your people didn’t try to hurt? They even killed those who told about the coming of the Blameless One. And now you have handed him over to his enemies. You have murdered him.

You belong to your father, the devil. You want to obey your father’s wishes. From the beginning, the devil was a murderer. He has never obeyed the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his natural language. He does this because he is a liar. He is the father of lies.

The Lord says,“ Come here, you children of women who practice evil magic! You are children of prostitutes and those who commit adultery.Who are you making fun of? Who are you laughing at? Who are you sticking your tongue out at? You are people who refuse to obey me. You are just a bunch of liars!

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus. They asked him to show them a sign from heaven.He replied,“ In the evening you look at the sky. You say,‘ It will be good weather. The sky is red.’And in the morning you say,‘ Today it will be stormy. The sky is red and cloudy.’ You know the meaning of what you see in the sky. But you can’t understand the signs of what is happening right now.An evil and unfaithful people look for a sign. But none will be given to them except the sign of Jonah.” Then Jesus left them and went away.

So I am sending you prophets, wise people, and teachers. You will kill some of them. You will nail some to a cross. Others you will whip in your synagogues. You will chase them from town to town.So you will pay for all the godly people’s blood spilled on earth. I mean from the blood of godly Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berekiah. Zechariah was the one you murdered between the temple and the altar.What I’m about to tell you is true. All this will happen to those who are now living.
