The Sign of Jonah
38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered and said to Him, “Teacher, (A)we want to see [a]a sign from You.” 39 But He answered and said to them, “(B)An evil and adulterous generation eagerly seeks for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; 40 for just as (C)Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will (D)the Son of Man be (E)three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.(E) 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish,(F) so the Son of Man(G) will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.(H)
