New English Translation
The Demand for a Sign
11 Then the Pharisees[a] came and began to argue with Jesus, asking for[b] a sign from heaven[c] to test him. 12 Sighing deeply in his spirit he said, “Why does this generation look for a sign? I tell you the truth,[d] no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 Then[e] he left them, got back into the boat, and went to the other side.
