They continually asked Jesus for signs to show He was the Messiah, but refused to accept the ones they were given. He described them as wicked, adulterous and a ‘generation of vipers’. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Standard\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-weight: bold; language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-GB\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; language: en-GB; mso-ansi-language: en-GB; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eThe author sets out the reason why that generation thought the way they did.
