Mark 8:12 -> KAI ANASTENAXAS TWi PREUMATI AUTOU LEGEI, TI hH GENEA hAUTH 
ZHTEI SHMEION;  AMHN LEGW hUMIN, EI DOQHSETAI THi GENEA TAUTHi SHMEION.
My question is concerning the last part of this verse where, instead of a 
negative, only EI is used.  ... if a sign will be given to this generation.  
Is this comparable to our ;As if>  This generation will receive a sign,  yea 
right, as if.
Or is this a standard way to express a negative?
