39 But He answered and said to them, (A)An evil and adulterous generation craves a [a]sign; and so no [b]sign will be given to it except the [c]sign of Jonah the prophet; 40 for just as (B)Jonah was in the stomach of the sea monster for three days and three nights, so will (C)the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for (D)three days and three nights. 41 (E)The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because (F)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something (G)greater than Jonah is here.

39 Who answering said to them: An evil and adulterous generation seeketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

40 For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

41 The men of Ninive shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they did penance at the preaching of Jonas. And behold a greater than Jonas here.

39-40 Jesus said, “You’re looking for proof, but you’re looking for the wrong kind. All you want is something to titillate your curiosity, satisfy your lust for miracles. The only proof you’re going to get is what looks like the absence of proof: Jonah-evidence.
