The sign of Jonah is given by Jesus as something for the people to consider as they look to Jesus' ministry. "This generation" is resembling the generation of people who came out of Egyptian bondage. Will they be any more faithful than that generation?

When Jesus casts out a mute demon, peoples' willingness to accept what God is doing in Him is all over the board.  Jesus implies that the "new Moses" has come into their midst and anything other than being on-board with God's plan through Him will result in scattering. He is cleaning the house and if it is not filled with His Spirit, it will be filled with many demons.

Luke makes a contrast between Martha & Mary that feels very appropriate for how we live our lives in the modern world.  Are we more often "a Mary" or "a Martha"? Following that, Jesus talks about prayer.  He gives the disciples a "model prayer" to use when they approach the Father and follows that up with a story to explain how much God wishes to give the very best answers to the prayers offered by his children who come to Him with boldness.
