Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You do then, so that we may see it and believe You? What work do You perform?

Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign from You."

For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The queen of the South shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and she shall condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater [than] Solomon [is] here.

Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing [Him], they asked Him to show them a sign out of heaven.

And in the morning, 'Today [will be] stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.' Hypocrites! Indeed you know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.

Then the Pharisees came out and began to question Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

Now as He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?"

Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking about in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him.

And they said to Him, "By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority to do these things?"

and they spoke to Him, saying, "Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?"

And they brought them forward and began to inquire, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"

saying, "Did we not give you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to bring on us the blood of this Man!"
