Mark 8:11-13

11And the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him. 12And sighing deeply in his spirit, he says, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13And leaving them, he got into the boat again and went away to the other side.

Matthew 16:1-4

1And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2But he answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red.’ 3And in the morning, ‘Today there will be a storm, for the sky is red and threatening.’ You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but the signs of the times you cannot discern. 4A wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And leaving them, he went away.
