Yes, they did ask for a sign, but that is hardly a reason for their intense hatred towards the Lord.
I think it was the only reason making the faith principle in respect to the faith of Christ without effect.Refusing to recognize the rent veil was a sign they were the antichrists.
Because they did walk by sight requiring a sign before they would exercise faith (which the scriptures call no faith) seeing it is in respect to the things of men seen and not God things of God not seen (no faith) according to the three avenues of the god of this world .
1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
They wanted to be the outward sign (the rent veil) that men who have faith in respect to .
Its why they wanted to kill him as the out of sight out of mind gospel of men.Even the apostles were confused that way for a while. Christ declared to them when discussing who were the us in Christ and who were those that went out from the true us. Christ declared they did not know what manner of spirit they were of. It was the spirit of the Pharisees with Sadducee's .
Two sects having different theology but coming to together as one force to try and mend the rent veil...the witness Christ had come.
