It seems to me like an odd time for it, but -perhaps she really enjoyed what Jesus was saying. Or maybe she was trying to -change the subject. In any carse, Jesus responds by saying it is better to be -blessed by keeping God's word. - -Jesus moves on to address the insincere requests for Him to perform a sign. -It's hard to tell if this was immediately after the previous teaching, later -that day, or some other time. All we know is "when the crowds were increasing." -(_v. 29_) He tells them that the only sign they would get is the sign of Jonah, -alluding to the three days the prophet spent inside the fish, cut off from the -world. In the same way, Jesus would spend three days in a tomb to then emerge -preaching a message of repentance. - -However, the queen of Ethiopia and the men of Ninevah from Jonah's time will -both rise up and condemn the Jews of Jesus's day at the time of judgement.
