Matthew 12:39
12:39 But he answered them, 1 “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 2 he left them and went away.
1 tn Grk “But answering, he said to them.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
2 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
