# For just as Jonah became a sign ... so too ... this generation
This means that Jesus will serve as a sign from God for the Jews of that day in exactly the same way as Jonah served as a sign from God to the people of Nineveh.
# Son of Man will
Jesus is referring to himself. Alternate translation: "I, the Son of Man, will" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
# this generation
"the people living today"
