11:29 As 1 the crowds were increasing, Jesus 2 began to say, “This generation is a wicked generation; it looks for a sign, 3 but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. 4 11:30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, 5 so the Son of Man will be a sign 6 to this generation. 7 11:31 The queen of the South 8 will rise up at the judgment 9 with the people 10 of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon – and now, 11 something greater 12 than Solomon is here! 11:32 The people 13 of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them 14 – and now, 15 something greater than Jonah is here!
11:33 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a hidden place 16 or under a basket, 17 but on a lampstand, so that those who come in can see the light. 11:34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, 18 your whole body is full of light, but when it is diseased, 19 your body is full of darkness. 11:35 Therefore see to it 20 that the light in you 21 is not darkness. 11:36 If 22 then 23 your whole body is full of light, with no part in the dark, 24 it will be as full of light as when the light of a lamp shines on you.” 25
