The Sign of Jonah

²⁹ As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “^(A)This generation is a wicked generation; it ^(B)seeks for a ^[a]sign, and yet no ^[b]sign will be given to it but the ^[c]sign of Jonah. ³⁰ For just as ^(C)Jonah became a ^[d]sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. ³¹ The ^(D)Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. ³² The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because ^(E)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

^4 (A)An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a ^[a]sign; and a ^[b]sign will not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” And He left them and went away.
