The Sign of Jonah

(Jonah 3:1–10, Matthew 12:38–42)

As the crowds were increasing, vvv [Jesus] said,“This is a wicked generation. It seeks[fn] a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.[fn] 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be [a sign][fn] to this generation.

31 

The Queen of [the] South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now [One] greater than Solomon [is] here. 32 [The] men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now [One] greater than Jonah [is] here.
