A. Even after documented evidence of countless miracles, some Pharisees asked for a miraculous sign to prove that Jesus was their Messiah.

The sign of Jonah He promised them meant that the Lord would spend three days and three nights in the tomb to support His claim, just as Jonah had spent that amount of time in the whale. The tragedy of this was that because of their unbelief, the religious leaders would only know for sure that Jesus was their long awaited Messiah after they had put Him to death.
