Luke 11:30

For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

For {G1063} as {G2531} Jonas {G2495} was {G1096} a sign {G4592} unto the Ninevites {G3536}, so {G3779} shall {G2071} also {G2532} the Son {G5207} of man {G444} be {G2071} to this {G5026} generation {G1074}.

For just as Yonah became a sign to the people of Ninveh, so will the Son of Man be for this generation.

For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
