Luke 11:29-36

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁹ As the crowds were increasing, he began to say, “This generation is an evil generation. It is seeking a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. ³⁰ For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. ³¹ The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look, one greater than Solomon is here. ³² The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. But look, one greater than Jonah is here.

A Lamp and a Lampstand

³³ “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a hidden place or under a basket, but on a stand so that those who come in may see the light. ³⁴ Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. But when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. ³⁵ Therefore, see to it that the light that is in you is not darkness. ³⁶ So if your whole body is full of light, without any dark part, it will be completely full of light, as when a lamp shines on you with bright light.”
