MATTHEW 12:41 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.”
The men of Nineveh will rise up 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. The Ninevites who repented at Jonah's preaching will condemn the generation that rejected Jesus' preaching — the same greater-than argument applied to cities (Matthew 11:21–24) is applied to peoples: the pagan Ninevites who had only Jonah's warning will condemn Israel's generation that had something greater than Jonah.
