Matthew 12:42 Context
40For as Ionas was three dayes and three nights in the whales belly: so shal the sonne of man be three daies and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41The men of Nineue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it, because they repented at the preaching of Ionas, and behold, a greater then Ionas is here. 42The Queene of the South shall rise vp in the iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for she came from the vttermost parts of the earth to heare the wisedome of Solomon, and behold, a greater then Solomon is here. 43When the vncleane spirit is gone out of a man, hee walketh thorow dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44Then he saith, I will returne into my house from whence I came out; And when he is come, he findeth it emptie, swept, and garnished.
