Luke 11:32
The Bible in Luke Chapter 11 Verse 32 says:
The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
Interpretation of Luke Chapter 11 Verse 32
In this passage, Jesus is telling his disciples that the people of Nineveh will be present in the judgment day and they will condemn the present generation. He uses the example of the people of Nineveh who repented when Jonah preached to them, to emphasize that a greater than Jonah is here—meaning himself—and that the people should be listening to him and repenting of their sins. Jesus is urging the people to listen to him and turn from their wicked ways, as the people of Nineveh did when Jonah preached to them, in order to avoid condemnation on the judgment day.
