Luke 11:29-36

29As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “1This generation is a wicked generation; it 2seeks for a 3sign, and yet no 4sign will be given to it but the 5sign of Jonah. 30For just as 6Jonah became a 7sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31The 8Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. 32The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because 9they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

33“10No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light. 3411The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is 12clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is 13bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness. 36If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.”
