Excerpt from Annotations on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, Vol. 2: Matthew XVI. XXVIII A. "The Jews require a sign, " said Paul (I Cor. I : 22), alluding to their dulness in apprehending divine truth, and their carnal desire after mere outward manifestations of divine power. They require signs of Christ at least thrice, first, John 2 : 18, second, above, 12 : 38, ff., here we have the third. The Pharisees as a body always manifest hostility to the Saviour's holy doctrine. The individuals who appear here, undoubtedly form a different group from those who are presented on the previous occasion (ch. 12), the locality, the accompanying discourses, etc., are different, the Sadducees here unite with them, and the request now either assumes a new form, or is repeated with a distinct specification - the sign must come from heaven. - B. Tempting (see 4 : 1, D.), the word is here used as in 19 : 3 , 22 : 18, and John 8 : 6). In the latter passage the word is explained by the additional clause: "that they might have ( = be enabled) to accuse Him." The sense then is: They subjected Him to a trial or test, which, as they maliciously hoped, He could not successfully endure. - C. A sign, etc. (see the ann. to 12 : 38, D.).
