(St.
Apollinaris, Bishop, Martyr)
Mt 12:38-42: 38 Then
some of the scribes and Pharisees said to him, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign
from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks
for a sign; but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the
prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly
of the whale, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will arise at the judgment
with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of
Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42 The queen of the
South will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she
came from the ends of the earth to hear the Wisdom of Solomon, and behold,
something greater than Solomon is here. USCCB video reflections: http://www.usccb.org/bible/reflections/index.cfm
