NgokukaMathewu 12:38-41

Kwase kuphendula abathile kubabhali nabaFarisi, bathi: “Mfundisi, sithanda ukubona isibonakaliso esenziwa nguwe.” Kepha waphendula, wathi kubo: “Isizukulwane esibi nesiphingayo sifuna isibonakaliso; kepha asiyikunikwa sibonakaliso, kuphela isibonakaliso sikaJona umprofethi. Ngokuba njengalokho uJona wayesesiswini somkhomo izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu, kanjalo-ke neNdodana yomuntu iyakuba sebuthunjini bomhlaba izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku obuthathu. Amadoda aseNineve ayakusukuma ekwahlulelweni kanye nalesi sizukulwane, asilahle; ngokuba aphenduka ngokushumayela kukaJona; bhekani, kukhona lapha okukhulu kunoJona.
