Mark 8:11-13

Mark 8:11-13

[11] And  the Pharisees  came forth,  and  began  to question  with him,  seeking  of  him  a sign  from  heaven,  tempting  him.  [12] And  he sighed deeply  in his  spirit,  and saith,  Why  this  generation  a sign?  verily  I say  There shall no  sign  be given  generation.  [13] And  he left  them,  and entering  into  again  departed  to  the other side. 

What does Mark 8:11-13 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Matthew"s account of this incident is fuller than Mark"s. Probably Mark just summarized it here to parallel Mark 7:1-23 and so advance his theme of discipleship training.
