As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation.
It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom; and now something greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and now something greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body
11:34,35pp—Mt 6:22,23
33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body.
When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light.
But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness.
35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

“The crowds increased”
“Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to Him”
“ wicked generation.

Why does Jesus say no sign will be given to them except that of Jonah?
They were blinded to the mriaculous signs of Jesus through their desire for more signs.
“For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation”
“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth”
The next section is the same, only flipped.
In Lukes account, this parable about spiritual blindness is followed by another parable about spiritual sight
