What happened to him was a sign to the people of Nineveh that God had sent him. What happens to the Son of Man will be a sign to these people that he was sent by God.

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

He was a sign from God to the people of Nineveh. In the same way, the Son of Man will be a sign from God to the people of today.

For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

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

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

For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.

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

Now the Lord had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah out onto the beach.

“ Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh, and deliver the message I have given you.”This time Jonah obeyed the Lord’s command and went to Nineveh, a city so large that it took three days to see it all.On the day Jonah entered the city, he shouted to the crowds:“ Forty days from now Nineveh will be destroyed!”The people of Nineveh believed God’s message, and from the greatest to the least, they declared a fast and put on burlap to show their sorrow.When the king of Nineveh heard what Jonah was saying, he stepped down from his throne and took off his royal robes. He dressed himself in burlap and sat on a heap of ashes.Then the king and his nobles sent this decree throughout the city:“ No one, not even the animals from your herds and flocks, may eat or drink anything at all.People and animals alike must wear garments of mourning, and everyone must pray earnestly to God. They must turn from their evil ways and stop all their violence.Who can tell? Perhaps even yet God will change his mind and hold back his fierce anger from destroying us.”When God saw what they had done and how they had put a stop to their evil ways, he changed his mind and did not carry out the destruction he had threatened.

And he said,“ Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day.It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem:‘ There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’

For as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.“ The people of Nineveh will stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for they repented of their sins at the preaching of Jonah. Now someone greater than Jonah is here— but you refuse to repent.The queen of Sheba will also stand up against this generation on judgment day and condemn it, for she came from a distant land to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Now someone greater than Solomon is here— but you refuse to listen.
