For even as Jonas became a sign to the Ninevites (swallowed then regurgitated by a whale) so also will the Son of man be a sign to this generation. The queen of the south will be raised in judgement with the men of this generation and will condemn them. She came from the extremities of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

But when it (the eye) is evil so also your body is dark. Therefore beware that whatever light is in you should be dim. If the whole of your body is bright, not with any part of it dark, then all of you will be lit up as with a lamp.
