As Jonah became a sign for the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be a sign for this generation
Gospel
text (Luke 11,29-32): As
the crowd increased, Jesus began to speak in this way, «People of the present
time are evil people. They ask for a sign, but no sign will be given to them
except the sign of Jonah. As Jonah became a sign for the people of Nineveh, so
will the Son of Man be a sign for this generation. The Queen of the South will
rise up on Judgment Day with the people of these times and accuse them, for she
came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and here there
is greater than Solomon. The people of Nineveh will rise up on Judgment Day
with the people of these times and accuse them, for Jonah's preaching made them
turn from their sins, and here there is greater than Jonah».
