Matthew 12:40-41

⁴⁰ For _z just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, _a so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. ⁴¹ _b The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and _c condemn it, for _d they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, _e something greater than Jonah is here.
