Luke 11:29-32

The Sign of Jonah

29 ¹When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, ²"This generation is an evil generation. ³It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.

30 For as ⁴Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

31 ⁵The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and ⁶condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, ⁷something greater than Solomon is here.

32 ⁸The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and ⁹condemn it, for ¹⁰they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, ¹¹something greater than Jonah is here.
