38 Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, 39 [1]Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah the 40 prophet: for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the [2]whale; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth [_see Jonah 1:17; 2:1-2; 3:5; 41 4:3; 1 Kings 10:1-10_]. The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgement with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, [3]a greater than 42 Jonah is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgement with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and 43 behold, [3]a greater than Solomon is here. But the unclean spirit, when [4]he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless 44 places, seeking rest, and findeth it not. Then [4]he saith, I will return into my house whence I came out; and when [4]he is come, 45 [4]he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth [4]he, and taketh with [5]himself seven other spirits more evil than [5]himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation.
