Notes
One greater: Jesus is greater than the temple (Matthew 12:6), the prophet Jonah, and King Solomon. So, rejecting him brings more severe judgment on this "wicked and adulterous generation" (12:39).
The Pharisees, the teachers of religious law, and many people of his generation rejected the Messiah.
