Matthew 12:39-41
1599 Geneva Bible
39 But he answered and said to them, An evil and [a]adulterous generation seeketh a sign, but no sign shall be given unto it, save that sign of the Prophet Jonah.
40 (A)For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly: so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 [b]The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: for they (B)repented at the preaching of Jonah: and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
