11 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?

12 Verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation, save the sign of the prophet Jonah; for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so likewise shall the Son of Man be buried in the bowels of the earth.

12 He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation{The word translated "generation" There (genea) could also be translated "people," "race," or "family."} seek after a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given unto this generation."
