Matthew 12:39-41

English Standard Version

³⁹ But he answered them, ^(A)“An evil and ^(B)adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. ⁴⁰ For ^(C)just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, ^(D)so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. ^41 (E)The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and ^(F)condemn it, for ^(G)they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, ^(H)something greater than Jonah is here.
