The Demand for a Miracle
16 Some
Pharisees and Sadducees who came to Jesus wanted to trap him, so they
asked him to perform a miracle for them, to show that God approved of
him. 2 But Jesus answered, “When the sun is setting, you say, ‘We are going to have fine weather, because the sky is red.’ 3 And
early in the morning you say, ‘It is going to rain, because the sky is
red and dark.’ You can predict the weather by looking at the sky, but
you cannot interpret the signs concerning these times![a] 4 How
evil and godless are the people of this day! You ask me for a miracle?
No! The only miracle you will be given is the miracle of Jonah.”
The Death of Jesus
44-45 It was about twelve o'clock when the sun stopped shining and darkness covered the whole country until three o'clock; and the curtain hanging in the Temple was torn in two. 46 Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father! In your hands I place my spirit!” He said this and died.47 The army officer saw what had happened, and he praised God, saying, “Certainly he was a good man!”
48 When the people who had gathered there to watch the spectacle saw what happened, they all went back home, beating their breasts in sorrow. 49 All those who knew Jesus personally, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance to watch.
