What did Jesus say about Jonas?

Do you mean Jonah? When Jesus was asked for a "miraculous sign", he told the people that none would be given except the sign of Jonah. Then he explained that just as Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days, so also would Jesus be in the "heart of the earth" for three days (Matthew 12:38-40). He also said that as Jonah was a sign to Ninevah, Jesus also was a sign to this generation (Luke 11:29-31).

What connections does the story Jonah and the big fish have to the life and death of Christ?

One connection Jonah has with Jesus Christ is that in Matthew 12:38-40 is that some of the scribes and Pharisees said, "Teacher, we want a sign from you". But Jesus answered, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth".


Who in the Bible was swallowed by a whale and lived?

Jonah...Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.Answer:The inspired scripture doesn't say "whale." It says that God "...PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Jonah..." (Jonah 1:17).It doesn't reveal what kind of fish... or if this "special" fish is extant today as a species.Nor does it say that Jonah was alive for those three days and three nights in the fish's belly. We are only told that in the fish's belly Jonah prayed... but not for how long.Jesus gave the "sign of Jonas" as THE ONLY "proof of His Messiahship:"...An evil and adulterous generation SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN; and there shall no sign be given to it, BUT THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS: For AS Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly [again, the inspired word is 'KETOS' -- or, HUGE FISH]; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH." (Matt.12:40)How was Jesus [after the manner of Jonah] in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights? Was He alive... or was He dead?Of course... He was "resurrected" from the dead... just AS Jonah was resurrected when: "...it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land." (Jonah 2:10)If Jonah was alive three days and three nights in the fish's belly... then so was Jesus alive [AS Jonah was] -- which would mean He never paid our ransom... the ONLY SIGN HE GAVE OF HIS MESSIAHSHIP FAILED... and Jesus Christ is not the Messiah.Yes, Jonah lived... but only after he was revived after three days and three nights.

Where in the Bible do you find Jesus referring Jonah as his only Messiahship?

Answer # 1The name Jonah only occurs in two places in biblical text and both are in the old testament 2Kings 14:25 and the book of JonahThere is no written reference by Christ to the name Jonah in all the new testament, and never to anyone as his Messiahship.Answer # 1 EndsAnswer:In the New Testament [KJV] "Jonah" becomes "Jonas":"A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no sign given unto it, but the sign of the prophet JONAS..." (Matt.16:4 KJV).(compare with the NIV): " A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of JONAH...".Jesus' used the sign of Jonah [three days and three nights in the fish's belly; or in His case, three days and three nights in the grave - dead - in the belly of the earth]... raising from the dead in that period of time... as the ONLY PROOF OF HIS MESSIAHSHIP [that He, Jesus, was the Messiah for whom everyone at that time was looking].The call for "a sign from heaven" came from the haughty, Faithless rulers of the people... the Pharisees. They too were looking for the Messiah... and if He was the one they were looking for -- they demanded that He quit pussy-footing around, step up and PROVE IT TO THEM!"The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested Him by asking Him to show them a sign from heaven." (verse 1)This "sign of Jonas" is also found in [Matt.12:38-41 & Luke 11:29-32].In other words: If Jesus failed to rise from the grave after three days and three nights [Jonah's sign] -- then HE WAS NOT THE MESSIAH!And they [and we who are looking for Him, according to the prophecies] must look for another.The "sign of Jonah [Jonas]" is the ONLY SIGN Jesus gives us [our wicked and adulterous generation... as well as theirs] as PROOF THAT HE IS THE MESSIAH.
