The Sign of Jonah
29And as* the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation! It demands a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah! 30For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. 31The queen of the south will rise up at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something* greater than Solomon is here! 32The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and behold, something* greater than Jonah is here!
Light and Darkness
33“No one after* lighting a lamp puts it* in a cellar or under a bushel basket, but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light. 34Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is sincere, your whole body is full of light also. But when it is evil, your body is dark also. 35Therefore pay careful attention that the light in you is not darkness! 36If therefore your whole body is full of light, not having any part dark, it will be completely full of light, as when the lamp with its light gives light to you.”
