27 While Jesus was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd spoke up: "Happy is the mother who gave birth to you and who nursed you."
28
But he said, " Happy rather are those who hear God's word and put it into practice."
29
When the crowds grew, Jesus said, “This generation is an evil generation. It looks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except Jonah's sign.
30
Just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Human One will be a sign to this generation.
31
The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from a distant land to hear Solomon's wisdom. And look, someone greater than Solomon is here.
32
The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they changed their hearts and lives in response to Jonah's preaching—and one greater than Jonah is here.
33
" People don't light a lamp and then put it in a closet or under a basket. Rather, they place the lamp on a lampstand so that those who enter the house can see the light.
34
Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is full of darkness.
35
Therefore, see to it that the light in you isn't darkness.
36
If your whole body is full of light—with no part darkened—then it will be as full of light as when a lamp shines brightly on you."
