The Sign of Jonah

Luke 11

²⁹ _u And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks a _v sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah ₁ the prophet. ³⁰ "For as _w Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. ³¹ _x "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 indeed a _y greater than Solomon is here. ³² "The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for _z they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
