Matthew 12:38-45

38Then certainG5100 of the scribesG1122 and PhariseesG5330 answeredG611 him, sayingG3004, TeacherG1320, we would seeG3708 a signG4592 from thee. 39But he answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, An evilG4190 and adulterousG3428 generationG1074 seeketh after a signG4592; and there shall no signG4592 be givenG1325 to it but the signG4592 of JonahG2495 the prophetG4396: 40for as JonahG2495 wasG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 and threeG5140 nightsG3571 in the bellyG2836 of the whale; so shall the SonG5207 of manG444 beG1510 threeG5140 daysG2250 and threeG5140 nightsG3571 in the heartG2588 of the earthG1093. 41The menG435 of Nineveh shall standG450 up in the judgmentG2920 with this generationG1074, and shall condemnG2632 it: for they repentedG3340 at the preachingG2782 of JonahG2495; and beholdG2400, a greaterG4183 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602. 42The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall riseG1453 up in the judgmentG2920 with this generationG1074, and shall condemnG2632 it: for she cameG2064 from the endsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; and beholdG2400, a greaterG4183 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 43But the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, whenG3752 he is goneG1831 out of the manG444, passeth through waterlessG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372, and findeth it not. 44Then he saith, I will returnG1994 into my houseG3624 whence I cameG2064 out; and when he is comeG2064, he findeth it empty, sweptG4563, and garnished. 45Then goeth he, and taketh with himself sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 moreG4190 evilG4190 than himself, and they enterG1525 in and dwellG2730 there: and the lastG2078 state of that manG444 becometh worse than the firstG4413. EvenG2532 so shall it beG1510 alsoG2532 unto this evilG4190 generationG1074.
