The Pharisees ask for a sign, again, and Jesus gives the same answer he did the first time. We just had the feeding of the 5,000 and the feeding of the 4,000 and then they ask to be shown a sign. The big exciting thing in this chapter is Peter declaring Jesus to be the Christ. That’s more than a name or even a title; it is a declaration that Jesus is the fulfillment of what they have been waiting for.

Matthew 16

The Pharisees and Sadducees came, and tested him by asking to see a sign from heaven.
