Why Oh Why

Jesus the Christ, the Son of God,

his disciples and some Pharisees

in the district of Dalmnutha, 

in the region of Magdala (Magadan):

And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.-Mark 8:10-13
