Mark 8:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 (A)[a]And the Pharisees [b]came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, and tempting him.
12 Then he [c]sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, Why doth this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, [d]a sign shall not be given unto this generation.
13 ¶ So he left them, and went into the ship again, and departed to the other side.
