They refused to submit to Jesus as Messiah.

In Matthew 12:38–42 Jesus says this “evil and adulterous generation” seeks a sign but will be condemned because, unlike the Ninevites (who repented at Jonah’s preaching) and the Queen of Sheba (who came to hear Solomon’s wisdom), they refuse to repent and accept the greater one now present — Jesus.
