These people asked Jesus to show them a sign from heaven. However, all they have seen were already signs from heaven. They SAW the miracle, but were BLIND to God within or behind it. By contrast, the queen of South and the men of Nineveh did recognize "the one greater" beyond those whom they physically encounterd. That's why Jesus condemned them that:
35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
Because:
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness.
So, what and how do we see? In other words, what do we often pay attention to? How do we think about things and words exsiting around us? That's why we should often check our spiritual light inside to make sure that we can see them through God's mind and to consider God's will. Here we can review a verse in chapter 7: "24 What did you go out into the desert to see?" Whenever we can't find God's way, we should ask ourselves: what am I waiting to see? A sign from heaven? Is it possible that I have seen signs from heaven but just am blind to God behind it? And that would be the definite moment to check our light inside and to pray for God to lighten our eyes, in order to really SEE his road.

So many people emphasize too much the visual seeing, and are regardless of spiritual seeing. That’s why they say, unless show me the evidence, or I won’t believe God exists. God do exist, they just deny believing. The most importance is the eye of mind must be open and free, so that the physical eye can see and to prove what we believe is true. Then the mind, spirit and body can be united together.
