What ONE sign did JESUS HIMSELF SaY Was Given to the Jews? (NOT healing, which their own people were able to do at times).
Jesus needed no gift to do anything He accomplished - He simply obeyed the Father, always resting the whole care of His Own Life in the Father's Hands, and always as the Father accomplished all that Jesus did obediently and willingly without any doubt and without any sin nor iniquity at all.
Yes, he needed no gift I agree.
My point was that the Jews needed to accept him as their Promised Messiah and Son of God, that is where the sign gifts came in. Is my point that hard for you to understand?
Here are some examples of verses where the Jews demanded signs

Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?
Mark 8:11-12
