The Sign of Jonah^(A)(B)

³⁸ Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign^(C) from you.”^(D)

⁷ For I do not want to see you now and make only a passing visit; I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.^(A)

²⁰ You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.”

¹⁹ (for the law made nothing perfect),^(A) and a better hope^(B) is introduced, by which we draw near to God.^(C)

¹² The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse^(A) of his bounty,^(B) to send rain^(C) on your land in season and to bless^(D) all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.^(E)
