Matthew 12:39
They are “wicked” (Matthew 12:39) as spending the excellence of the mind not on love of God, but on doing and saying something against God. He called them an “adulteress,” showing both the earlier and the present unbelief. For they neither believed the Father nor stood with Christ himself, who wedded humanity and betrothed it according to humanity through what was said: “And I will betroth you to myself forever.” (Hosea 2:19) They glued themselves to Satan, naming the manner of intelligible fornication. He shows himself again to the Father — the sign of Jonah the prophet.

Πονηροὶ δὲ ὡς τὸ ἐξαίρετον τῆς διανοίας δαπανῶντες οὐ περὶ φιλοθεΐαν, ἀλλὰ περὶ τὸ δρᾶν τι καὶ λέγειν κατὰ θεοῦ. μοιχαλίδα δὲ ἐκάλεσε καὶ τὴν προτέραν καὶ τὴν παροῦσαν ἀπιστίαν δηλῶν· οὔτε γὰρ τῷ πατρὶ ἐπίστευσαν καὶ αὐτοῦ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἀπέστησαν τοῦ νυμφευσαμέ νου τὴν ἀνθρωπότητα καὶ μνηστευσαμένου κατὰ τὴν ἀνθρωπότητα διὰ τὸ εἰρημένον· "καὶ μνηστεύσομαί σε ἐμαυτῷ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα", προσεκολ λήθησαν δὲ τῷ σατανᾷ τὸν τῆς νοητῆς πορνείας τρόπον ἀποκαλοῦντες. δείκνυσιν ἑαυτὸν πάλιν τῷ πατρὶ–τὸ σημεῖον Ἰωνᾶ τοῦ προφήτου.
