Jonah is certainly mentioned but the book bearing his name is not directly quoted. Jesus himself quoted 24 different Old Testament books.<ref>[https://www.knowableword.com/2013/03/27/11-old-testament-books-never-quoted-in-the-new-testament/ 10 Old Testament Books Never Quoted in the New Testament, by Peter Krol (knowableword.com)]</ref> | + | Bible scholars have pointed out that Jesus and the apostles never quoted from the Old Testament books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.
