16:1-4
The Pharisees and Sadducees again come and demand a sign. Jesus answers by pointing out the perverse they were. They had seen quite enough to provide all the proof that was needed. They could read the weather, but could not understand what was before their eyes. They were a "wicked and adulterous” generation. The issue they should have been concerned about was the state of their hearts. The sign to come would be the resurrection of Jesus, but even that would do them no good.
16:5-12
The disciples were not much brighter. Jesus warned them to beware of having the same mindset as the Pharisees and Sadducees, but they thought he was talking about bread. Jesus reminds them of the two feeding miracles, Jesus was concerned about something much more important. Then the disciples finally understood.
