Only one sign Jesus says will be seen: the prophet Jonah's sign.

Jesus concludes by saying, "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Jesus healed the man, and the Pharisees left and went out plotting against Him, how they might destroy Him.

Even the smallest acts of kindness towards God's sent ones will not go unnoticed.
