This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat_12:38. The narrative is more original than that in Luk_11:16.
σημεῖον ] a manifestation of miraculous power that, by appealing to the senses, will serve to confirm thy divine mission. In such a light they had not regarded the cure of the demoniacs, Mat_12:24. In thus insisting as they did upon yet further proof, they were actuated by a malicious desire to put Him to the test and reduce Him to silence.
ἀπὸ σοῦ ] from Thee Thy sign.
In deference to Mar_8:11, Luk_11:16, many erroneously suppose that in this instance it is specially a σημεῖον ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ that is meant. In Mat_16:1, however, the sign is being requested for the second time.
