Only one sign of His authenticity??

Mt 11:1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Mt 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Mt 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
Mt 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
Mt 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Mt 11:6 And blessed is [he], who soever shall not be offended in me.

Jn 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jn 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
Jn 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Jn 14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Jn 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Jn 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

There are many, many signs, but the one sign given by the Messiah when asked by the Pharisees:

Matthew 12:38 KJV - Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees
answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and
adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall
no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Yet, many Christians today accept without question that Christ died on a Friday and did rise from the grave on the following Sunday morning. Obviously NOT three days and three nights. Hence, they can't count to three. ;)

IMO, Rood does a great job of explaining what the correct timeline was in his the video presentation, "The Jonah Code" linked above.

>> “Only one sign of His authenticity??” <<

.
Obviously the word “authenticity” doesn’t belong in there.

Christ said to the pharisees that there would be only one sign that he would give them that he was the messiah, which was the the three days of Jonah in the fish. It had not been fulfilled at that point, but soon was, and surely they did observe it, but were nevertheless not swayed by it, as they were not of the Lord’s remnant.

The rest of the miracles would not be signs of Christ, because prophets that had come before him had also worked miracles. The three days were an exact prediction of his death and resurrection.
