Luke 11:29–36

The Sign of Jonah

²⁹As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “^aThis generation is a wicked generation; it ^bseeks for a ¹sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

³⁰“For just as ^aJonah became a ¹sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

³¹“The ^aQueen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment 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.

³²“The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because ^athey repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

³³“^aNo one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.

³⁴“^aThe eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is ¹clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is ²bad, your body also is full of darkness.

³⁵“Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.

³⁶“If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.”
