Elements of Jonah's three days in the belly of a great fish are paralleled in the New Testament by Jesus' three days in the tomb. This is mentioned as being so in Matthew 12:40 (KJV): For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
