Luke 11:29-32
New International Version
The Sign of Jonah(A)
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign,(B) but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.(C) 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom;(D) and now something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah;(E) and now something greater than Jonah is here.

The Sign of Jonah
29 As the crowds were increasing, He began saying: “This generation(A) is an evil generation.(B) It demands a sign,(C) but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.[a](D) 30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the Son of Man(E) will be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south(F) will rise up at the judgment(G) with the men of this generation and condemn(H) them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,(I) and look—something greater than Solomon is here! 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation, and look—something greater than Jonah is here!
