MATTHEW 12

Jesus told the Jewish leaders that the only miracle that they would see him do would be one like God did for Jonah.

38 Then some of the Pharisees and men who taught the Jewish laws responded to what Jesus was teaching by saying to him, "Teacher, we want to see you perform a miracle that would prove to us that God sent you." 39 Then Jesus said to them, "You people have already seen me perform miracles, but you are evil, and you do not faithfully worship God [MET]! You want me to perform a miracle that would prove to you that God sent me, but God will enable you to see only one miracle. It will be like what happened to Jonah the prophet [MET]. 40 Jonah was in the stomach of a huge fish for three days and nights before God caused him to live again. Similarly, for three days and nights I, the one who came from heaven, will be in a place where dead people are, and then God will cause me to live again.
