He cursed at them and said no. He essentially told them they would be too stupid to recognize what will (has) already been done.
So tell me, how or why should God treat either of us any differently?
38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law answered Jesus. They said, “Teacher, we want to see you do a miracle as a sign from God.”
39 Jesus answered, “Evil and sinful people are the ones who want to see a miracle as a sign. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to the prophet Jonah.[f] 40 Jonah was in the stomach of the big fish for three days and three nights. In the same way, the Son of Man will be in the grave three days and three nights. 41 On the judgment day, you people who live now will be compared with the people from Nineveh,[g] and they will be witnesses who show how guilty you are. Why do I say this? Because when Jonah preached to those people, they changed their lives. And you are listening to someone greater than Jonah, but you refuse to change!
This is from my previous reply about the Tyre prophecy. I was going to reuse the tab in my browser, but the first sentence caught my eye, and it's quite apt as a response to you.

Since you were the one claiming that God shows you signs in your life, it's rather two-faced of you to turn around and claim that Jesus said that the asking for signs is the sign of an evil man.
