“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.”
Bible
“The story of the whale swallowing Jonah, though a whale is large enough to do it, borders greatly on the marvelous; but it would have approached nearer to the idea of a miracle if Jonah had swallowed the whale”
Thomas Paine
“If the Bible had said that Jonah swallowed the whale, I would believe it”
William Jennings Bryan
“So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.”
“That could have been the whale that swallowed Jonah.”
Ed Prewit
“But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.”
“We have only ever wished the best for Jonah and for him to be able to fulfil his desire to continue playing rugby. We have not always agreed on everything but I believe we have tried to treat Jonah honestly and fairly through this period.”
