Summary
Once again, we see the spiritual blindness and hostility of the Pharisees. These religious men are so puffed up with their own righteousness that they would demand signs from the Son of God Himself. They cry, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign!”—as if Christ had not already healed the sick, cast out demons, raised the dead, and preached the Gospel of the Kingdom. Their hearts werehardened, like Pharaoh’s, who saw the mighty hand of God and yet still refused to repent.You will not, and indeed cannot, believe in that which you hate.

| 0:00.0 | Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody |
| 0:05.6 | asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it |
| 0:10.8 | triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know |
| 0:17.2 | that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't. We need |
| 0:22.3 | this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. Amen. Please join me in standing for |
| 0:29.3 | the reading of God's word. Our text for today is the gospel according to Matthew chapter 12 |
| 0:34.1 | verses 38 through 42. Again, that's the gospel according to Matthew chapter 12 versus 38 through 42 again that's the gospel according to Matthew |

| 0:42.7 | finish reading the text I'm going to ask that you would respond by saying |
| 0:45.6 | thanks be to God one final time our text is Matthew chapter 12 verses 38 |
| 0:52.0 | through 42 the Bible says this then some of the scribes and |
| 0:56.8 | Pharisees said teacher we wish to see a sign from you but he answered them and evil and |
| 1:04.4 | adulterous generation seeks for a sign but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah |
| 1:13.8 | was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so the son of man will be three |
| 1:20.3 | days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment |
| 1:26.4 | with this generation and condemn it, |
| 1:29.1 | for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. |
| 1:36.3 | The Queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, |
| 1:42.1 | for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon |
