In Luke 11:30 of today’s Gospel reading, Jesus condemns the people who ask for a sign, and says that the only sign they will get is the sign of Jonah, who preached repentance to the Ninevites. God is trying to tell us in this verse that Jesus is the greatest sign of His love and salvation, and that we should not demand more evidence or miracles from Him. He is also telling us that we should repent of our sins and listen to His words, as He is greater than any prophet or king who came before him. He is challenging us to have faith and obedience, and not to be like the evil generation who rejected Him.

在今天的路加福音11:30,耶稣谴责寻求徽兆的人并提到他们唯一会得到的徽兆是向尼尼微人传道悔改的约纳。天主在这章节里告诉我们耶稣是他爱和救赎最大的象征,我们不应该向他要求更多证据和奇迹。耶稣也呼吁我们悔改并听从他的话,因为他伟大过在他之前的先知和君王。他在挑战我们,要我们有信德并服从他,也不像拒绝他的前代。
