The sign of Jonah
The article addresses the apparent contradiction concerning 'the sign of Jonah' between Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It explains the divergences through the Gospels' different audiences and their common aim of emphasising the importance of proclaiming the kingdom of heaven.
Mark 8.11-12 (King James Version) :And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
