Matthew 12:38-40

New International Version - UK

The sign of Jonah

³⁸ Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, ‘Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.’

³⁹ He answered, ‘A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. ⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
