Jesus on Jonah
Jonah is miraculously swallowed by a large fish, where he survived for three days and nights.<ref>JHN 1:17</ref> While in the great fish, Jonah prays to God and asks forgiveness and thanks God for being so forgiving, and, as a result, God commands the fish to vomit Jonah out.<ref>JHN 2</ref>

In the book of Matthew and Luke, Jesus stated that he would repeat the miracle of Jonah: MT <sup>12:39</sup> <nowiki>[Jesus]</nowiki> answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. <sup>40</sup> For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. <sup>41</sup> The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here..."<ref>MT 12:39-41, see also MT 16:4, LK 11:29-32, </ref>
