PHARISEES WANT A SIGN

The word peroushim, transliterated "Pharisees," means "separated ones." Their attitude is that external observance of the hundreds of prescriptions of the Law is the essential human response to the covenant of God. They seek a sign–-and remember that Jesus has just given them the sign of feeding four thousand people–-and a sign so blatant and miraculous that it would force them to believe.
