Matthew 12:38-42
Optional Memorial of Saint Apollinaris, Bishop and Martyr
​
Some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Jesus,
   “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.”
He said to them in reply,
   “An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign,
   but no sign will be given it
   except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights,
   so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth
   three days and three nights.
At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation
   and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah;
   and there is something greater than Jonah here.
At the judgment the queen of the south will arise with this generation
   and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth
   to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
   and there is something greater than Solomon here.”
