What did Jesus say about Signs?

³⁹ “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

⁴⁰ For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the huge fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

⁴¹ The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, someone greater than Jonah is here.

⁴² The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, someone greater than Solomon is here.

²⁵ “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.

²⁶ But you don’t believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

²⁸ I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

²⁹ My Father who has given them to me is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

³⁰ I and the Father are one.”

¹² “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

² “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’

³ In the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you can’t discern the signs of the times!

⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and there will be no sign given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.”

²⁹ “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

³⁰ For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.

³¹ The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.

³² The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

⁵³ “Your son lives.”

¹⁵ “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.

¹⁶ He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

¹⁷ These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;

¹⁸ they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

²² “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

²³ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

⁴ “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

⁵ the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

⁶ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

²⁵ “There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;

²⁶ men fainting for fear and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

²⁷ Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

²⁸ But when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”

²⁹ “But immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;

³⁰ and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

³¹ He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.

² “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”

⁴ “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

⁵ For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk’?

⁶ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins—” […] “Get up, and take up your mat, and go to your house.”

²⁰ “God’s Kingdom doesn’t come with observation;

²¹ neither will they say, ‘Look, here!’ or, ‘Look, there!’ for behold, God’s Kingdom is within you.”

²⁶ “Peace be to you.”

²⁷ “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
