Jesus Christ » History of » Replies to the scribes and pharisees who seek a sign from him (in galilee)
Then answered some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you. But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, and no sign shall be given it but the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. read more.
The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they changed their minds at the preaching of Jonah; and behold a greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here. But when the impure spirit has gone out of a man, it goes through dry places seeking a rest, and finds none. Then it says, I will return to my house from which I went out; and coming, it finds it empty, swept, and adorned. Then it goes and takes with itself seven other spirits worse than itself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it be also with this evil generation.

and others, trying him, asked of him a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is desolated, and house falls upon house. And if Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. read more.
But if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? they, therefore, shall be your judges. But if by a finger of God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man armed keeps his court, his goods are in peace; but when a stronger man than he comes upon him, and overcomes him, he takes away all his arms in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters. When an impure spirit has gone out of a man, it passes through places destitute of water, seeking a rest; and not finding one, says, I will return to my house from which I came out. And coming, it finds it swept and adorned. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than itself; and they come and dwell there; and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. And when he was saying these things, a certain woman from the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the mother that bore you, and the breasts which you nursed! And he said, Yes indeed, blessed are those that hear the word of God and keep it. And multitudes being assembled, he said, This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, and no sign shall be given it but the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of man be to this generation. The queen of the south shall rise in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh shall arise in the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they changed their minds at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. No one lights a candle and puts it in a secret place, or under a modius [1.916 gallon measure], but on a candlestick, that all who go in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye; when, therefore, your eye is sound, your whole body is light; but when your eye is evil, your whole body is dark. See, therefore, that the light which is in you be not darkness. If, therefore, your whole body is light, not having any part dark, the whole will be light, as when a candle lights you clearly.
