Luke 11:29–36

The Sign of Jonah

²⁹As the crowds were increasing, He began saying: “This generation ^ais an evil generation. ^bIt demands a sign, ^cbut no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. ^de30For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the ^•Son of Man ^fwill be to this generation. ³¹The queen of the south ^gwill rise up at the judgment ^hwith the men of this generation and condemn ⁱthem, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, ^jand look—something greater than Solomon is here! ³²The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation, and look—something greater than Jonah is here!

The Lamp of the Body

³³“No ^kone lights a lamp ^land puts it in the cellar or under a basket, ^mbut on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light. ³⁴Your eye is the lamp of the body. ⁿWhen your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light. But when it is bad, ^oyour body is also full of darkness. ³⁵Take care then, that the light in you is not darkness. ³⁶If, therefore, your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be entirely illuminated, as when a lamp shines its light on you.” ^p
