Contextual Overview
10 And, straightway, entering into the boat with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha; 11 and forth came the Pharisees, and began discussing with him, seeking of him, a sign from the heaven, testing him. 12 And, deeply sighing in his spirit, he saith - Why, doth this generation seek, a sign? Verily, I say - there shall, not be given, to this generation, a sign. 13 And leaving them, again, embarking, he departed unto the other side. 14 And they forgot to take loaves, and, save one loaf, they had nothing with them in the boat. 15 And he began charging them, saying - Mind! beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod! 16 And they began deliberating one with another, because they had no loaves. 17 And, taking note, he saith unto them - Why do ye deliberate, because ye have no, loaves? Not yet perceive ye, neither understand, - keep ye your hearts, hardened? 18 Eyes having, see ye not? and ears having, hear ye not? and remember ye not 19 when, the five loaves, I brake unto the five thousand, how many baskets, full of broken pieces, ye took up? They say unto him - Twelve, -

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the Pharisees came forth,.... Out of their houses; who dwelt in the coasts of Magdala, and parts of Dalmanutha, and came to Jesus, hearing of his being arrived in their neighbourhood:
and began to question with him; or to dispute with him, it being their manner to carry on disputations by questions and answers. The Persic version has the question they put, and about which they disputed, "if thou art the Christ"; in proof of which they required a sign:
seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this passage explained in Matthew 16:1-12.
Mark 8:12
Sighed deeply in his spirit - His heart was deeply affected at their wickedness and hypocrisy. The word “spirit” here is taken as the seat of the emotions, passions, affections. He drew groans deeply from his breast.
No sign be given - That is, no such sign as they asked, to wit, a sign “from heaven.” He said a sign should be given, the same as was furnished by Jonas, Matthew 16:4. But this was not what they “asked,” nor would it be given “because” they asked it.
Mark 8:15
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees - See Matthew 16:6.
Of Herod - Of the Herodians - of Herod and his followers. Matthew, instead of “Herod,” has “the Sadducees.” It is not improbably that he cautioned them against them all. The Pharisees sought his life, and were exceedingly corrupt in their doctrine and practice; the Sadducees denied some of the essential doctrines of religion, and the Herodians probably were distinguished for irreligion, sensuality, and corrupt living. They were united, therefore, with the Pharisees and Sadducees in opposing the claims of Jesus. Matthew has recorded his caution to avoid the Pharisees and Sadducees, and Mark has added, what Matthew had omitted. the caution likewise to beware of the Herodians. Thus, the evangelists speak the same thing.
