Matthew 12.5 Jonah, Demons Return, and Jesus' Family

Scripture with the Fathers · Mar 6, 2026 · 26m

What is the sign of Jonah? Was it just one thing as Jesus articulates or is there more? He alludes to the third sign of Jonah and what that will be. We turn to St. Jerome and St. John Chrysostom to get insight. Is the return of the unclean spirit associated with the sign of Jonah? Next Jesus describes His true kindred as being those who do the will of His Father. In this statement, is He possibly rebuking His own mother? Was the one designated to be the Mother of the Word Incarnate somehow being disrespected by Christ Jesus? What is the Greek word for "brother" Does that mean sibling?
