Worldwide English (New Testament)

³⁸ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, `Teacher, we want you to show us a sign.'

³⁹ But Jesus answered them, `The people today are bad. They have gone away from God. They want a sign. No sign will be given them but the sign of the prophet Jonah.

⁴⁰ Jonah was inside the big sea animal for three days and three nights. So the Son of Man will be in the ground for three days and three nights.
