30 "For just as 3Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 "The 4Queen 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 5they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
