The Sign of Jonah^(A)

²⁹ Now as the crowds continued to throng around Jesus,^[a] he went on to say, “This people living today are^[b] an evil generation. It craves a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah, ³⁰ because just as Jonah became a sign^[c] to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation. ³¹ The queen of the south will stand up at the judgment and condemn the people living today,^[d] because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look, something greater than Solomon is here! ³² The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment and condemn the people living today,^[e] because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look, something greater than Jonah is here!”
