EXPLANATION

Verse 39. Sign of Jonas. I will give no other sign than my death and resurrection, as then, though unwillingly, they will acknowledge me, and people will believe and be converted: so in John (Calmet. 8) it is said, When you shall have exalted the Son of man, then you shall know that I am he. Menochius.
