“A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.”
An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. So he left them and departed. The sign of Jonah — the resurrection — is the only sign that will be given to the sign-seeking generation. The departure communicates the finality of Jesus' refusal: there is no point in remaining with those who have already determined to reject what they have seen. The evil and adulterous generation that seeks a sign will receive the ultimate sign and still reject it (Matthew 28:11–15).
