29. And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. 30. For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. 31. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here. 32. The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.

Evil generation. Concerning vs. 29-32 see on Matt. 12:38-42. It is not certain whether this is to be considered Luke’s account of the incident recorded in Matt. 12:38–42, or whether it is a later incident connected with the Peraean ministry (see DA 488; see on Luke 11:1, 33).
