Why was it evil for the scribes and Pharisees to ask a sign from Jesus?
Because they should not tempt God bribing Him asking for a proof a proof of what kind then? with all that they should have already seen? For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Here Jesus is referring i think to the Resurrection the greatest miracle that should have dispelled the doubts of all. At the right time. Victory over death. By whom? i am wondering how many times in the Gospels Jesus is referred to or refers too Himself as the Son of God. I mean he sometimse says that who refuses him refuses the Father and that who sees him sees the Father, but i was struck, istincytive obserbvtaions soi i could be wrong, by how many times he says i am the Son of Man. Implying trying to remind everyone that Man was made in the image of God that we are all called to inheritance of the Kingdom by looking up at God Himself who did not simply fashioned man in his likeness but Who became Man himself to show us the Redeeming Power of the Holy Spirit of which we are all imbued with the Baptism brought ius by Christ.

The sign of Jonah is an endtime event that will unseal the biblical textWhen this occurs Jesus himself will be doing all the talking as the entire unseal biblical text becomes decoded,This event has just occurred by a man who calls himself a Jonah =[43] the seer=[43 of the language=[43] of God=[43].This new age Jonah applies the key of David=56[knowledge,113] the numbers=[113] of prophecy=[113] of the divine language=[113] to unseal the bible When appling the key of David correctly one can hear the voice of Christ throughout the numeric translation. The sign of Jonah =[107,138] in the numeric language means the word of God=[107] of Jesus Christ=[138] in the language of God=[138]see www.snyderbooks.com the greatest event in biblical history is unfolding

Burial and Resurection of Christ

Jesus said He would be three days and three nights in the grave.  If he was buried on Friday evening (before sundown), and rose on Sunday, then He did not do as He said He would!

Remember that the dates you have set are based upon current calendar standards.  Calendars have been change many times since 33 AD.  Also, a "high" day was the same as a Sabbath.

Triditions have crept into our understanding of God's Word.

Thank You

John

The scribes and Pharisees were did not want to believe in Jesus - they would have to change their sinful ways. They meant to trip Jesus up and fully intended Him harm by asking for a miracle on demand.

Why was it evil for the scribes and Pharisees to ask a sign from Jesus?
Because of all the miracles he had perfomed and all the good he has done thorough his father. They still didnt believe that he was the Son of God. They were doubting him which is why it was bad.

The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, some one greater than Solomon is here. Who is the queen of the south?

The Sign of Jonah

Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."
But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here. But the unclean spirit, when he is gone out of the man, passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and doesn't find it. Then he says, 'I will return into my house from which I came out,' and when he has come back, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more evil than he is, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. Even so will it be also to this evil generation."

Matthew 12:38-45
