Contemporary English Version
Matthew 12:40-42
Contemporary English Version
40 (A) He was in the stomach of a big fish for three days and nights, just as the Son of Man will be deep in the earth for three days and nights. 41 (B) On the day of judgment the people of Nineveh[a] will stand there with you and condemn you. They turned to God when Jonah preached, and yet here is something far greater than Jonah. 42 (C) The Queen of the South[b] will also stand there with you and condemn you. She traveled a long way to hear Solomon's wisdom, and yet here is something much greater than Solomon.

New International Version
40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,(A) so the Son of Man(B) will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.(C) 41 The men of Nineveh(D) 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. 42 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came(F) from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
