'Demand' in the Bible

But sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? I assure you: No sign will be given to this generation!”

But he was stunned at this demand, and he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.

So Pilate decided to grant their demand

They forbid marriage and demand abstinence from foods that God created to be received with gratitude by those who believe and know the truth.
