There were two men called Jonah in The Bible.

The first was a prophet who was asked to go to Ninevah and proclaim judgement against them.

He ran away from this commission and fled. His story is recorded in the Bible book of Jonah.

The second was the father of the Apostles Peter and Andrew - although he was sometimes referred to as John. See Matthew 16:17.
