Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

But he answered and said unto them, ‹An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:›

‹For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.›

‹Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last› [state] ‹of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.›

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, ‹Behold, a sower went forth to sow;›

‹And when he sowed, some› [seeds] ‹fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:›

‹Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:›

‹And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.›

‹And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:›
