Jonah rose up to
flee unto

Joppa; and he found a ship going to
Tarshish: so he paid the
fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto

tempestuous.
Now the sea was growing worse and worse, so they said to Jonah, “What must we do to you to calm this sea for us?”

Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her
raging.

Jonah and cast him into the sea, and the
raging sea grew calm.

cried, and said, Yet forty days, and
Nineveh shall be overthrown.
On the first day of his journey,
Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, “Forty more days and
Nineveh will be overturned!”
But it displeased
Jonah exceedingly, and he was very
angry.
Jonah, however, was greatly displeased, and he became
angry.
So
Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a
booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
Then Jonah left the city and sat down east of it, where he made himself a shelter and sat in its shade to see what would happen to the city.

gourd, and made it to come up over
Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So

scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on

angry for the
gourd? And he said, I do well to be
angry, even unto death.
Then God asked
Jonah, “Have you any right to be
angry about the plant?” “I do,” he replied. “I am
angry enough to die!”

adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet
Jonas:
Jesus replied, “A wicked and
adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of the prophet

whale’s
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
For as
Jonah was three days and three nights in the
belly of the great fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
