a paraphrased ‘enter the story’
🍃🕊️reading & study 🕊️🍃
(As some were saying he was casting out demons by the ruler of demons, others were asking him for a sign, and) 29 - As the crowd of people was increasing, Jesus said, “This generation is a troublesome generation. {I think ultimately it includes humanity as a whole? As it’s strayed from truth/logic, so is imperfect (and entropic, unavoidable as God is Life, surely? And “is perfect” mt.5:48).}
It {this generation/humanity strayed from truth, life} seeks for a sign, but there will be no sign but the sign of Jonah. 30 Just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be to this generation. 31 The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment, with the men of this generation and give judgment against them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and look, something greater than Solomon is here. 32 And the men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and give judgment, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and look, something greater than Jonah is here.
33 “No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a bowl, but they put it on a lampstand or table, so those who enter may see by its light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body, and if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye not good, you will be full of darkness. 35 Therefore be careful, lest the light that’s in you is actually darkness, and not light. 36 And if you are full of light, having no darkness, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its - radiance - gives light.”
