SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #244

" This generation is a wicked generation. It asketh a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninivites; so shall the Son of man also be to this generation." (Luke 11:29-30)

OUR LORD'S PROPHECY: By referring the Jews to "the sign of Jonas the prophet," our Lord most distinctly foretold His Burial and Resurrection.

[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
