Matthew 12:38

A SIGN DEMANDED AND THE REPLY—HIS MOTHER AND BRETHREN SEEK TO SPEAK WITH HIM, AND THE ANSWER. ( = Luke 11:16, Luke 11:24-36; Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21). (Matthew 12:38-50)

Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master—"Teacher," equivalent to "Rabbi."

we would see a sign from thee—"a sign from heaven" (Luke 11:16); something of an immediate and decisive nature, to show, not that His miracles were real—that they seemed willing to concede—but that they were from above, not from beneath. These were not the same class with those who charged Him with being in league with Satan (as we see from Luke 11:15-16); but as the spirit of both was similar, the tone of severe rebuke is continued.
