Bible verse
Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Mark 8:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 8.
8 The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
9 And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
10 He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12 Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15 “Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
16 So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
