37. For (tho thou must be made and accounted by God, a just man, by thy inward change, and thy forgiveness, in order before thy words or works, yet) supposing, that thou survive, God who hath made a Law for thy words (and works) will judge thee by that Law, as justified and rewardable, or as unjust and punishable, in the day of Judgment. Christ hath not made us lawless, nor made us a Law (of Grace) in vain: No man shall be saved that is not justifiable against the accusation, that he lived and died an impenitent ungodly man, any more than if he had died an infidel.
38. Then certain of the Scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master we would see a sign from thee.
38. We would see some certain sign from Heaven that indeed God doth own thee thy word.
39. But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah: 40. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whales belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
