Luke 11:27-32
New American Standard Bible
27 While [a]Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “(A)Blessed is the womb that carried You, and the breasts at which You nursed!” 28 But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are (B)those who hear the word of God and follow it.”
The Sign of Jonah
29 Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “(C)This generation is a wicked generation; it (D)demands a [b]sign, and so no [c]sign will be given to it except the [d]sign of Jonah. 30 For just as (E)Jonah became a [e]sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The (F)Queen 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 listen to 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 (G)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
