* Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him , Teacher , we want you to show us a sign . * But Jesus answered them , The people today are bad . They have gone away from God . They want a sign . No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah . * Jonah was inside the big sea animal for three days and three nights . So the Son of Man will be in the ground for three days and three nights . * When people are judged , the men of the city of Nineveh will stand up and speak against the people of today . The people of Nineveh stopped their wrong ways when Jonah told them Gods word . And the one who is here is greater than Jonah . * When people are judged , the Queen of the South will stand up and speak against the people of today . She came a long way to hear the wise talk of Solomon . And the one who is here is greater than Solomon . * When a bad spirit has gone out of a man , he goes through dry places . He looks for a place to rest , but he does not find any . * Then he says , "I will go back to my house from where I came ." When he comes back , he finds it is empty , clean , and all fixed up . * Then he goes and brings seven other spirits with him . They are worse than he is . They go in and live there . Now the man is worse than he was at first . That is how it will be for the wrong people of today .
