But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation looks for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah:
He restored the territory of Israel from the entering of Hamath to the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath-hepher.
A wicked and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them, and departed.
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.
Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore chooses to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
