Matthew 12:39-50

39But Jesus replied, “Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.

41“The people of Nineveh will stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for they repented of their sins at the preaching of Jonah. Now someone greater than Jonah is here—but you refuse to repent.

42The queen of Sheba will also stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Now someone greater than Solomon is here—but you refuse to listen.

43“When an evil spirit leaves a person, it goes into the desert, seeking rest but finding none.

44Then it says, ‘I will return to the person I came from.’ So it returns and finds its former home empty, swept, and in order.

45Then the spirit finds seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they all enter the person and live there. And so that person is worse off than before. That will be the experience of this evil generation.”

46As Jesus was speaking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.

47Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak to you.”

48Jesus asked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

49Then he pointed to his disciples and said, “Look, these are my mother and brothers.

50Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother!”
