Jesus Christ » History of » Replies to the scribes and pharisees who seek a sign from him (in galilee)
Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying: Teacher, we want to see a sign from you. He answered them: An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. No sign will be given but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it. After all, they repented at the preaching of Jonah. Yet someone greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it. She came from the ends of the earth to hear the Wisdom of Solomon. Someone greater than Solomon is here! When an unclean spirit goes out of a man it passes through the desert seeking rest. It does not find it. It tries to return to the place from where it came. It finds it empty, swept, and fixed up. Then it takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself. They enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first. It will also be like this with this evil generation.

If Beelzebub helps me cast out demons, who helps your sons cast them out? They will be your judges. If I use the finger (power) (Spirit) (Exodus 31:18) (2 Corinthians 3:3) of God to cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you? When the fully armed strong man guards his own palace, his goods are safe. When some one stronger comes to him and overpowers him he takes away his armor and steels his possessions. He who is not with me is against me. He who does not help me gather actually scatters. When an unclean spirit leaves a man it passes through desolate places. It seeks rest and finds none. It says, 'I will return from where I came.' When he returns he finds the place swept and adorned. He then takes seven other spirits more evil than himself and they enter in and dwell. The last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. As he was talking a woman out of the crowd shouted: Blessed is the woman who bore you and nursed you. He replied: More blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it. When the crowd gathered to him, he said: This generation is evil. It seeks a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites; the Son of man will be a sign to this generation. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation. She will condemn them for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the Wisdom of Solomon and one greater than Solomon is here now. The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation. They will condemn it for they repented at the preaching of Jonah and someone greater than Jonah is here now. No man lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a bushel. He puts it on a table so those who enter may see the light. The lamp of your body is your eye. When your eye is clear your entire body is full of light. When it is evil your body is full of darkness. Make sure the light that is in you is not darkness. If your entire body is full of light and has no darkness you will have no part of the dark. Just as a lamp when shinning brightly gives plenty of light.
