For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

约拿怎样为尼尼微人成了神迹，人子也要照样为这世代的人成为神迹。

蓋約拿為兆於尼尼微人、人子亦將為兆於斯世、

蓋約拿身為異跡、以示尼尼微人、如是人子亦將身為異跡、以示此世、

昔約拿為尼尼微人成為異跡、人子亦將為此世代成為異跡、

蓋適如若納身作靈徵、以示尼尼衛人人子之於斯代亦然。

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

He was a sign from God to the people of Nineveh. In the same way, the Son of Man will be a sign from God to the people of today.

For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

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.

For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

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

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

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

For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

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

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

( 2: 1) The LORD sent a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights.

Then the LORD commanded the fish and it disgorged Jonah on dry land.

“ Go immediately to Nineveh, that large city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.”So Jonah went immediately to Nineveh, as the LORD had said.( Now Nineveh was an enormous city– it required three days to walk through it!)When Jonah began to enter the city one day’s walk, he announced,“ At the end of forty days, Nineveh will be overthrown!”The people of Nineveh believed in God, and they declared a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes.He issued a proclamation and said,“ In Nineveh, by the decree of the king and his nobles: No human or animal, cattle or sheep, is to taste anything; they must not eat and they must not drink water.Every person and animal must put on sackcloth and must cry earnestly to God, and everyone must turn from their evil way of living and from the violence that they do.Who knows? Perhaps God might be willing to change his mind and relent and turn from his fierce anger so that we might not die.”When God saw their actions– they turned from their evil way of living!– God relented concerning the judgment he had threatened them with and he did not destroy them.

and said to them,“ Thus it stands written that the Christ would suffer and would rise from the dead on the third day,and repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish for three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.The people of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented when Jonah preached to them– and now, something greater than Jonah is here!The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon– and now, something greater than Solomon is here!
