Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 8:13

13 And he left them, and entring into the ship again, departed to the other side.

Matthew saith, he came into the Coasts of Magdala, it is probable they were two contiguous tracts of Land, we often read of the Pharisees coming to our Saviour to ask a Sign, had they not Signs? What were all the Miracles he wrought but Signs of his Divine Power, and Mission? but they ask for a Sign from Heaven, such a Sign as M[illegible: 1 letter]ses, Ioshuah, and Elijah gave them, by this means making a trial of his Divine Power. Our Saviour who never wrought Miracles to satisfie Mens curiosity, but only to confirm their Faith, refuseth to shew them any such Sign as they desired, and leaves these Coasts.
