The Demand for a Sign^(A)

²⁹ When the crowds pressed upon Him, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It looks for a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. ³⁰ For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. ³¹ The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And now one greater than Solomon is here. ³² The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And now one greater than Jonah is here.

The Light of the Body^(B)

³³ “No one, when he has lit a candle, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a candlestick, that those who come in may see the light. ³⁴ The eye is the lamp of the body. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. ³⁵ Take heed therefore lest the light which is in you is darkness. ³⁶ If your whole body, then, is full of light, no part being dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the shining candle gives you light.”
