30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
30 For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
30 What Jonah was to Nineveh, the Son of Man is to this age.
30 For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.
30 What happened to him was a sign to the people of Nineveh that God had sent him. What happens to the Son of Man will be a sign to these people that he was sent by God.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 11:30
Commentary on Luke 11:29-36
(Read Luke 11:29-36)
Christ promised that there should be one sign more given, even the sign of Jonah the prophet; which in Matthew is explained, as meaning the resurrection of Christ; and he warned them to improve this sign. But though Christ himself were the constant preacher in any congregation, and worked miracles daily among them, yet unless his grace humbled their hearts, they would not profit by his word. Let us not desire more evidence and fuller teaching than the Lord is pleased to afford us. We should pray without ceasing that our hearts and understandings may be opened, that we may profit by the light we enjoy. And especially take heed that the light which is in us be not darkness; for if our leading principles be wrong, our judgment and practice must become more so.
