Matthew 12:39

← Matthew 12:38 Matthew 12:39 (KJV) [words of Jesus] Matthew 12:40 [words of Jesus] →
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas 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.
