Luke 11:30-32
Easy-to-Read Version
30 Jonah was a sign for those who lived in Nineveh.[a] It is the same with the Son of Man. He will be a sign for the people of this time.
31 “On the judgment day, you people who live now will be compared with the queen of the South,[b] and she will be a witness who shows how guilty you are. Why do I say this? Because she traveled from far, far away to listen to Solomon’s wise teaching. And I tell you that someone[c] greater than Solomon is right here, but you won’t listen!
32 “On the judgment day, you people who live now will also be compared with the people from Nineveh, and they will be witnesses who show how guilty you are. I say this because when Jonah preached to those people, they changed their hearts and lives. And you are listening to someone greater than Jonah, but you refuse to change!
