3:12 ^c In the Bible, a sign often occurred after a person or a nation had already had to decide whether to act in faith or not (see Isa 7:14 ^d). A sign cannot create faith where there is none (see Matt 12:39 ^e; 16:4 ^f). Rather, it encourages the one who has exercised the faith he or she already has.
