Mark 8:11

9 And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,

10 He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.

12 Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

13 And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
