Καὶ ὅτι τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἔμελλεν ἀναστήσεσθαι μετὰ τὸ σταυρωθῆναι , γέγραπται ἐν τοῖς ἀπομνημονεύμασιν ὅτι οἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ γένους ὑμῶν συζητοῦντες αὐτῷ ἔλεγον , ὅτι Δεῖξον ἡμῖν σημεῖον . Καὶ ἀπεκρίνατο αὐτοῖς· Γενεὰ πονηρὰ καὶ μοιχαλὶς σημεῖον ἐπιζητεῖ , καὶ σημεῖον οὐ δοθήσεται αὐτοῖς εἰ μὴ τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ . Καὶ ταῦτα λέγοντος αὐτοῦ παρακεκαλυμμένα ἦν νοεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀκουόντων ὅτι μετὰ τὸ σταυρωθῆναι αὐτὸν τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστήσεται
And that He was to rise on the third day after being crucified, it is written in the memoirs that those of your race who disputed with Him said, 'Show us a sign'; and He answered them, 'An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, and no sign shall be given it except the sign of Jonah.' And when He said this, it was veiled, so as to be understood by the hearers that after His crucifixion He would rise on the third day.
祂被釘十字架後要在第三日復活，記錄裡記著你們族中與祂爭辯的人說：「給我們顯個神蹟」；祂回答他們說：「一個邪惡淫亂的世代求神蹟，除了約拿的神蹟以外，再沒有神蹟給他們。」祂說這話時是隱晦的，好叫聽見的人領悟祂被釘後要在第三日復活。
3-107:2
Καὶ πονηροτέραν τὴν γενεὰν ὑμῶν καὶ μοιχαλίδα μᾶλλον τῆς Νινευϊτῶν πόλεως ἐδήλου , οἵτινες , τοῦ Ἰωνᾶ κηρύξαντος αὐτοῖς μετὰ τὸ ἐκβρασθῆναι αὐτὸν τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀπὸ τῆς κοιλίας τοῦ ἁδροῦ ἰχθύος ὅτι μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας παμπληθεὶ ἀπολοῦνται , νηστείαν ἁπλῶς πάντων ζώων , ἀνθρώπων τε καὶ ἀλόγων , μετὰ σακκοφορίας καὶ ἐκτενοῦς ὀλολυγμοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν καρδιῶν ἀληθινῆς μετανοίας αὐτῶν καὶ ἀποταγῆς τῆς πρὸς ἀδικίαν ἐκήρυξαν , πιστεύσαντες ὅτι ἐλεήμων ὁ θεὸς καὶ φιλάνθρωπός ἐστιν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς μετατιθεμένους ἀπὸ τῆς κακίας , ὡς καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν βασιλέα τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης καὶ τοὺς μεγιστάνας ὁμοίως σακκοφορήσαντας προσμεμενηκέναι τῇ νηστείᾳ καὶ τῇ ἱκεσίᾳ , καὶ ἐπιτυχεῖν μὴ καταστραφῆναι τὴν πόλιν αὐτῶν
And He declared your generation to be more wicked and more adulterous than the city of the Ninevites—who, when Jonah preached to them, after he had been cast up on the third day from the belly of the great fish, that after three days they should all utterly perish, proclaimed a fast of all living creatures, both men and beasts, with sackcloth and earnest wailing and true repentance from their hearts and renunciation of unrighteousness, believing that God is merciful and loving toward all who turn from wickedness; so that even the king of that city himself and the great men, likewise putting on sackcloth, continued in the fast and supplication, and obtained that their city should not be overthrown.
祂宣告你們這世代比尼尼微城更邪惡、更淫亂——尼尼微人在約拿被大魚從腹中第三日吐出後向他們宣告說，三日後他們要盡都滅亡，他們便宣告一切活物，無論人或牲畜，都要禁食，披麻、痛切哀號，並從心裡真誠悔改、棄絕不義，深信神是有憐憫的、向一切離開惡行的人是慈愛的；甚至那城的王自己和大臣們同樣披麻，持續禁食祈求，便得以使他們的城不被傾覆。
3-107:3
Ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ Ἰωνᾶ ἀνιωμένου ἐπὶ τῷ τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ , ὡς ἐκήρυξε , μὴ καταστραφῆναι τὴν πόλιν , διὰ τῆς οἰκονομίας τοῦ ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἀνατεῖλαι αὐτῷ κικυῶνα , ὑφ ὃν καθεζόμενος ἐσκιάζετο ἀπὸ καύματος (ἦν δὲ ὁ κικυῶν αἰφνίδιος , μήτε φυτεύσαντος τοῦ Ἰωνᾶ μήτε ποτίσαντος , ἀλλ ἐξαίφνης ἐπανατείλας αὐτῷ σκιὰν παρέχειν ), κἀκ τῆς ἄλλης ξηρᾶναι αὐτόν , ἐφ ᾧ ἐλυπεῖτο Ἰωνᾶς , καὶ ἤλεγξεν αὐτὸν οὐ δικαίως ἀθυμοῦντα ἐπὶ τῷ μὴ κατεστράφθαι τὴν Νινευϊτῶν πόλιν , λέγων·
But when Jonah was grieved that the city was not overthrown on the third day as he had preached, by the dispensation of a gourd springing up from the earth for him—under which he sat and was shaded from the heat (and the gourd was sudden, Jonah neither having planted nor watered it, but it sprang up suddenly to give him shade)—and of its withering by another means, at which Jonah was grieved, God reproved him for being unjustly downcast that the city of the Ninevites was not overthrown, saying:
但約拿因那城沒有照他所宣告的在第三日被傾覆而憂愁，神便藉一個從地裡為他長出的蓖麻的安排——他坐在其下，得蔭蔽脫離炎熱（這蓖麻是忽然有的，約拿沒有栽種也沒有澆灌，乃是忽然長起來給他遮蔭）——又藉另一方式使它枯乾，約拿為此憂愁，神就責備他不該為尼尼微城未被傾覆而無理地灰心，說：
3-107:4
Σὺ ἐφείσω περὶ τοῦ κικυῶνος , οὗ οὐκ ἐκοπίασας ἐν αὐτῷ ; οὔτε ἐξέθρεψας αὐτόν , ὅς ὑπὸ νύκτα αὐτοῦ ἦλθε καὶ ὑπὸ νύκτα αὐτοῦ ἀπώλετο· κἀγὼ οὐ φείσομαι ὑπὲρ Νινευΐ , τῆς πόλεως τῆς μεγάλης , ἐν ᾗ κατοικοῦσι πλείους ἢ δώδεκα μυριάδες ἀνδρῶν , οἳ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ἀνὰ μέσον δεξιᾶς αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἀριστερᾶς αὐτῶν , καὶ κτήνη πολλά
'You had pity on the gourd, for which you did not labour, neither did you rear it, which came up under a night and perished under a night; and shall not I have pity on Nineveh, the great city, in which dwell more than twelve myriads of men, who do not know their right hand from their left, and much cattle?'
「這蓖麻你沒有勞苦，也沒有培養，一夜長起來，一夜枯乾，你尚且愛惜；何況尼尼微這大城，其中不能分辨左手右手的人有十二萬多，並有許多牲畜，我豈不愛惜呢？」
