A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.”

Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking for a sign from heaven to test him.

Sighing deeply in his spirit he said, “Why does this generation look for a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to this generation.”
