The Sign of Jonah
38Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, awe wish to see a sign from you.” 39But he answered them, b“An evil and cadulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40For djust as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, eso will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 fThe men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and gcondemn it, for hthey repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, isomething greater than Jonah is here. 42 jThe queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, ksomething greater than Solomon is here.Mark 8:11-12
