36`And I say to you, that every idle word that men may speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of judgment;
37for from thy words thou shalt be declared righteous, and from thy words thou shalt be declared unrighteous.`
38Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, `Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.`
39And he answering said to them, `A generation, evil and adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;
40for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
41`Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here!
42`A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, a greater than Solomon here!
