27 Tandis que Jésus parlait ainsi, une femme, élevant la voix du milieu de la foule, lui dit: Heureux le sein qui t’a porté! Heureuses les mamelles qui t’ont allaité!
28 Et il répondit: Heureux plutôt ceux qui écoutent la parole de Dieu, et qui la gardent!
29 Comme le peuple s’amassait en foule, il se mit à dire: Cette génération est une génération méchante; elle demande un miracle; il ne lui sera donné d’autre miracle quecelui de Jonas.
30 Car, de même que Jonas fut un signe pour les Ninivites, de même le Fils de l’homme en sera un pour cette génération.
