'This Generation' in the Bible

"But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who, calling to the others,

"The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and, behold, a greater than Jonah is here.

"A queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

Verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

Verily I say to you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things come to pass.

And, sighing deeply in His spirit, He saith, "Why does this generation seek a sign? verily I say to you, there shall no sign be given to this generation."

Verily I say to you, this generation will not pass away, until all these things be accomplished.

"To what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?

And as the multitudes were gathering together to Him, He began to say, "This generation is an evil generation: it is seeking a sign, and a sign shall not be given it, except the sign of Jonah.

For, as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.

"The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, something more than Solomon is here.

"The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and, behold, something more than Jonah is here.

that the blood of all the prophets, which has been shed from the founding of the world, may be required of this generation??51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah who perished between the altar and the house??ea, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.'

But first He must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.

Verily I say to you, this generation will in no wise pass away, till all come to pass.
