Matthew 12:40-42
1599 Geneva Bible
40 (A)For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly: so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 [a]The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: for they (B)repented at the preaching of Jonah: and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
42 (C)The Queen of the [b]South shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the [c]utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon: and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
