Luke 11:27-33

Luke 11:27-33 CSB

As he was saying these things, a woman from the crowd  raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you and the one who nursed you! ”  He said, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God   and keep it.”   As the crowds were increasing, he began saying, “This generation   is an evil generation.   It demands a sign,   but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.   , For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the Son of Man   will be to this generation. The queen of the south   will rise up at the judgment   with the men of this generation and condemn   them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon,   and look — something greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s preaching, and look — something greater than Jonah is here. “No   one lights a lamp   and puts it in the cellar or under a basket,   but on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see its light.
