Matthew 12:41

The Sign Of Jonah

⁴⁰ 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 The men of Nineveh shall rise at the day of judgment with this nation, and condemn them: for they amended at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, a greater than Jonah is here. ⁴² The queen of the south shall rise at the day of judgment with this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the world, to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
