27: And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28: But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. 29: And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30: For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31: The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32: The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

A certain church (woman) will proclaim (lift up her voice) that Mary is blessed and that Jesus received from her the milk of the Word. Mary is used by the Catholic Church to produce signs or miracles.

28: But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

The answer given by Jesus to this certain church is that those who listen to the Bible and obey what it says to do are the ones who are blessed.

29: And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

When the people are assembled together (gathered) it will be a time when that generation is evil. They will want a sign from the Lord or from heaven. But there will be no sign given from the Lord Jesus. Thus if a sign is given it will be from Satan not the Lord. The sign of Jonas the prophet is the only sign that will be given from the Lord.

30: For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation.

The men of Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonas (Luke 11:32), so preaching that causes men to repent will be the only sign given to the evil generation looking for a sign! The preaching about Jesus will be the sign to the evil generation, not his actual appearance.

31: The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 32: The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

The preaching that will cause men to repent will reach to the utmost parts of the earth. The Lord Jesus Himself will give the preaching power!
