Matthew 12:40-42

Expanded Bible

⁴⁰ [^LFor just as] Jonah was in the stomach of the ·big fish [sea monster; sea creature] for three days and three nights [Jon. 1:17]. In the same way, the Son of Man will be in the ·grave [^Lheart of the earth] three days and three nights. ⁴¹ On the judgment day the ·people [or men] from Nineveh will stand up with ·you people who live now [this generation], and they will ·show that you are guilty [condemn you]. [^LBecause] When Jonah preached to them, they ·were sorry and changed their lives [repented]. And ·I tell you that [^Llook; ^Tbehold] ·someone [or something; ^Ceither Jesus or the Kingdom of God] greater than Jonah is here. ⁴² On the judgment day, the Queen of the South will ·stand [rise] up with ·you people who live today [this generation]. She will ·show that you are guilty [condemn you], because she came from ·far away [the ends of the earth] to listen to Solomon’s wise teaching [1 Kin. 10:1–13]. And ·I tell you that [^Llook; ^Tbehold] ·someone [or something] greater than Solomon is here.
