People's New Testament

11:29-32 They seek a sign. See notes on Mt 12:38-42, where we have the same language reported.

Wesley's Notes

11:29 It seeketh - The original word implies seeking more, or over and above what one has already.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

29-32. (See on [1639]Mt 12:39-42.)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

11:29-36 Christ promised that there should be one sign more given, even the sign of Jonah the prophet; which in Matthew is explained, as meaning the resurrection of Christ; and he warned them to improve this sign. But though Christ himself were the constant preacher in any congregation, and worked miracles daily among them, yet unless his grace humbled their hearts, they would not profit by his word. Let us not desire more evidence and fuller teaching than the Lord is pleased to afford us. We should pray without ceasing that our hearts and understandings may be opened, that we may profit by the light we enjoy. And especially take heed that the light which is in us be not darkness; for if our leading principles be wrong, our judgment and practice must become more so.


Matthew 12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."
Matthew 12:39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet;
Matthew 16:4 "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah." And He left them and went away.
Mark 8:12 Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation."
Luke 11:16 Others, to test Him, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven. (NASB ©1995)
