Jonah (יוֹנָה "Dove", Standard Hebrew Yona, Latin Ionas, Tiberian Hebrew,and (Arabic يونس Yunus or Yunis in Islamic Qura'anic terms) was a person in the Biblical Old Testament and Jewish Tanakh, the son of Amittai "true", from the Galilean village of Gath-hepher, near Nazareth, demonstrating the incorrectness of the Pharisee's contention that no prophet arises from Galilee (John 7:52).
Summary of the Book of Jonah
God ordered Jonah to preach at the city of Nineveh. Jonah did not want to, and tried to avoid God's command by sailing to Tarshish. During a storm he was thrown overboard, yet was miraculously saved by being swallowed by a large fish. The fish afterwards spat him out on the shore, in the land of Nineveh where the Lord had wished him to speak in the first place.
The word of the Lord a second time directed him to visit Nineveh. He therefore went there and walked through it for a whole day, crying "In forty days Nineveh shall be destroyed." The Ninevites believed his word, and appointed a public fast, from the meanest of the people to the greatest; the king himself putting on sackcloth and sitting in ashes. God had compassion and did not bring His wrath against the land at that time.
