38 Then certain of the Scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous genera- tion seeketh after a sign ; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas :
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly : so shall tlic Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : because they re- pented at the preaching of Jonas ; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and sliall condemn it : for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solo- mon : and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out ; and when he is come, he findeth U empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, ancl they enter in and dwell there : and the last stale of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
46 While yet he talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47 Then one said unto him. Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren ?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said. Behold my mother and my brethren.
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
