Then some teachers of the Law and some Pharisees spoke up. “Teacher,” they said, “we want to see you perform a miracle.”
Your words will be used to judge you—to declare you either innocent or guilty.”
Others wanted to trap Jesus, so they asked him to perform a miracle to show that God approved of him.
As the people crowded around Jesus, he went on to say, “How evil are the people of this day! They ask for a miracle, but none will be given them except the miracle of Jonah.
The Jewish authorities came back at him with a question, “What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?”
Jesus said to him, “None of you will ever believe unless you see miracles and wonders.”
They replied, “What miracle will you perform so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
Jews want miracles for proof, and Greeks look for wisdom.
