Matthew 12:38-41 (New International Version)
The Sign of Jonah
12:39-42pp -- Lk 11:29-32 12:43-45pp -- Lk 11:24-26
38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign1 from you."2 39 He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.3 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,4 so the Son of Man5 will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.6 41 The men of Nineveh7 will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah,8 and now onea greater than Jonah is here.Scripture quoted by permission.
