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 

[16:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[16:31]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[16:31]  ³ tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” See the note on the phrase “respond to” in v. 29.

[16:31]  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.
