Matthew 16:4

16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then ¹  he left them and went away.

Luke 16:31

16:31 He ²  replied to him, ‘If they do not respond to ³  Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” ⁴ 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

³ tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” See the note on the phrase “respond to” in v. 29.

⁴ sn The concluding statement of the parable, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead, provides a hint that even Jesus’ resurrection will not help some to respond. The message of God should be good enough. Scripture is the sign to be heeded.
