Matthew:12:38-45
wmth@Matthew:12:38 @ Then He was accosted by some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees who said, »Teacher, we wish to see a sign given by you.«
wmth@Matthew:12:39 @ »Wicked and faithless generation!« He replied, »they clamour for a sign, but none shall be given to them except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
wmth@Matthew:12:40 @ For just as so will the Son of Man be three days in the heart of the earth.
wmth@Matthew:12:41 @ There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and mark! there is One greater than Jonah here.
wmth@Matthew:12:42 @ The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.
wmth@Matthew:12:43 @ »No sooner however has the foul spirit gone out of the man, then he roams about in places where there is no water, seeking rest but finding none.
wmth@Matthew:12:44 @ Then he says, `I will return to my house that I left;' and he comes and finds it unoccupied, swept clean, and in good order.
wmth@Matthew:12:45 @ Then he goes and brings back with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they come in and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first. So will it be also with the present wicked generation.«
