38 Then some of the Scribes and Pharisees interposed, saying, Rabbi, we desire to see a sign for you.

39 He answering, said to them, An evil and adulterous race demands a sign; but no sign shall be given it, but the sign of the Prophet Jonah.

40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the bosom of the earth.
