Matthew 12:38-45

38Then answered him some of the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Teacher, we desire to see a sign from thee.

39But he, answering, said to them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it save the sign of Jonas the prophet.

40For even as Jonas was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, thus shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

41Ninevites shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, more than Jonas [is] here.

42A 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 behold, more than Solomon [is] here.

43But when the unclean spirit has gone out of the man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and does not find [it].

44Then he says, I will return to my house whence I came out; and having come, he finds [it] unoccupied, swept, and adorned.

45Then he goes and takes with himself seven other spirits worse than himself, and entering in, they dwell there; and the last condition of that man becomes worse than the first. Thus shall it be to this wicked generation also.
