The Sign of Jonah

²⁹ Now as the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “^(A)This generation is a wicked generation; it ^(B)seeks ^[a]a sign, and yet no ^[b]sign will be given to it but the ^[c]sign of Jonah. ³⁰ For just as ^(C)Jonah became ^[d]a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. ³¹ The ^(D)Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, something greater than Solomon is here. ³² The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because ^(E)they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

³³ “^(F)No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. ^34 (G)The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is ^[e]clear, your whole body also is full of light, but when it is ^[f]bad, your body also is full of darkness. ³⁵ Therefore watch out that the light in you is not darkness. ³⁶ If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.”
