Matthew 12:38-42 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him as follows: "Teacher, we would like to see a spectacular sign given by you."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁸ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him as follows: "Teacher, we would like to see a spectacular sign given by you." ³⁹ But He answered, "Only a wicked and treacherous age is hankering for a spectacular sign, and no sign will be given it but the sign of the prophet Jonah. ⁴⁰ For as Jonah was in the whale's stomach for three days and nights, the Son of Man will be three days and nights in the heart of the earth. ⁴¹ The men of Nineveh will rise with the leaders of this age at the judgment and condemn them, for they turned to the message preached by Jonah, and there is more than Jonah here! ⁴² The queen of the south will rise with the leaders of this age at the judgment and condemn them, for she came from the farthest limits of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and there is more than Solomon here!
