“The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.”
And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. The joint approach of Pharisees and Sadducees — normally opponents — communicates the unified nature of the religious establishment's opposition to Jesus. The sign from heaven request parallels the sign request of Matthew 12:38, and Jesus' response will be similar: the only sign is the sign of Jonah.
