SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:31

La reina del austro se levantar� en el juicio contra los hombres de esta generaci�n, y los condenar�; porque vino de los fines de la tierra a oír la sabiduría de Salom�n; y he aquí m�s que Salom�n en este lugar.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 11:31

Verse 31. The queen of the south, &c.] Perhaps it would be better to translate, A queen of the south, and the men of this race, shall rise up in judgment, &c. See the note on ver. 7. The 32d verse may be read in the same way.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 31. The queen of the south , etc.] That is, the queen of Sheba, which was a country of Arabia, which lay south of Judea; of whom it is said, that she shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them : the sense is, that at the last day, when all shall rise from the dead, both Jews and Gentiles, this Heathen queen shall rise together with the men of the present generation among the Jews, stand in judgment with them, and against them; and that her conduct would be brought as an evidence against them, and be improved as an aggravation of their condemnation: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon is here : the difference between them, and what aggravates the case is, that she was a Gentile that knew not God, they were Jews, his professing people; she came from afar, they were near, upon the spot, where Christ was, he was preaching in their streets, temple, and synagogues; she came to hear only natural or moral wisdom, but they might have heard spiritual and heavenly wisdom, with which eternal happiness is connected; she came to hear only a mere man, but they might have heard him who is the wisdom of God, and the only wise God, and our Saviour; (see Gill on � Matthew 12:42�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 29-36 - Christ promised that there should be one sign more given, even the sig of Jonah the prophet; which in Matthew is explained, as meaning the resurrection of Christ; and he warned them to improve this sign. But though Christ himself were the constant preacher in any congregation and worked miracles daily among them, yet unless his grace humble their hearts, they would not profit by his word. Let us not desire mor evidence and fuller teaching than the Lord is pleased to afford us. We should pray without ceasing that our hearts and understandings may be opened, that we may profit by the light we enjoy. And especially tak heed that the light which is in us be not darkness; for if our leadin principles be wrong, our judgment and practice must become more so.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

31. Shall rise up (egerqhsetai). From the dead.

A greater (pleion). Lit., something more. See on Matt. xii. 6. Wyc., here is more than Solomon.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

11:31 {With the men of this generation} (meta twn andrwn tes geneas tautes). Here #Mt 12:42 has simply "with this generation," which see.
