Mark
Mark 8:11–13
11Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
