A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek: Humbly Attempted with a View to Assist the Unlearned with Clearer and More Explicit Views of the Mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures of Truth
Haweis, Thomas
Bible. New Testament
(38)Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees addressed him, saying,
Master, we desire to see a sign from thee. (39)But he answered and said
unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh a sign; and no
sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet: (40)for as
Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights; so
shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three
nights. (41)The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment against this
generation, and condemn it: for they repented on the preaching of
Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. (42)The queen of the
South shall rise up in judgment against the men of this generation, and
condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom
of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
(43)When the unclean spirit is indeed gone out of a man, he traverses
through places destitute of water, in search of rest, but cannot find
it. (44)Then he saith, I will return to my mansion, whence I came; and
on his arrival, he findeth it unoccupied, swept, and furnished.
(45)Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more
wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last
state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with
this wicked generation.
(46)And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother
and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak to him. (47)And a
person said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand
without, desiring to speak to thee. (48)But he answered and said to him
that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? (49)And
stretching out his hand towards his disciples, he said, Behold my
mother and my brethren. (50)For whosoever shall do the will of my
Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and
mother.
