Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: teacher, we wish to see a sign from you. The sign request from the scribes and Pharisees follows the Beelzebul controversy — they have just witnessed the healing of the blind and mute man but they want a sign. The request communicates the insatiability of unbelief: the miracle they have already seen is not sufficient, and they demand something more. The sign request after a miracle reveals that the demand for signs is not about evidence but about control.
