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. Each +of them responded to God's message correctly, and they did not have as much +knowledge and resources available to them as the Jews did. King Solomon did not +perfectly follow God's commands in acquiring wives and wealth, to his +detriment, but the queen of Ethiopia still came a great distance to learn the +wisdom God had given him. Jonah was a rebellious, racist prophet, and yet the +Ninevites listened to God's call for repentance through him. How bad will it be +for the Jews who heard the very Son of God Himself speak directly to them and +reject Him? + +How bad will it be for us, who have the entirety of Scriptures translated into +our native languages, updated every few years, with instant access to it and +also to the writings of the greatest minds who have studied it for _millenia_, +and still don't pay attention to it? + +* * * + +Have mercy on us, for we deserve all the judgements You have promised.
