(117) The Evil Generation
Luke 11:29-36
[29]As the crowds increased around Him, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. They seek a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. [30]For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall the Son of Man be to this generation. [31]The Queen of the South shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And look, one greater than Solomon is here. [32]The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the judgment with this generation and shall condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And look, one greater than Jonah is here.
[33]“No one lights a lamp and then hides it in a secret place, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on the lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. [34]The light of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your sight is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness. [35]So take heed that the light which is in you be not darkness. [36]If your whole body is full of light, having no dark part, then all of it shall be illuminated, shining as a bright lamp which gives you light.”
(117) The Evil Generation
Luke 11:29-36, KJV
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. 34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
