Matthew 12:39

12:39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Matthew 16:4

16:4 A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” Then he left them and went away.


tn Grk “But answering, he said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
