And other tempted him seeking of him a sign from heaven.
¶ When the people were gathered thick together: He began to say: This is an evil nation. They seek a sign, and there shall no sign be given them, but the sign of Ionas the prophet.
They said unto him: what sign shewest thou then? that we may see and believe thee? What dost thou work?
And this they said to tempt him: that they might have, whereof to accuse him. Iesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
For the jews require a sign, and the greeks seek after wisdom.
