Jonah 1:16

14 Therefore they cried out to the Lord and said, “We pray, O Lord, please do not let us perish for this man’s life, and ^ado not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O Lord, ^bhave done as it pleased You.”

15 So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, ^aand the sea ceased from its raging.

16 Then the men ^afeared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the Lord and took vows.

17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And ^aJonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jonah 1:15

Jonah 1:17 >>

Feared the Lord - Perhaps as Jonah's casting over - board was a type of Christ's death, so the effect it had upon the mariners might be a type of the conversion of the Heathen from idols unto God. Made vows - Probably they vowed, they would ever worship him whom Jonah preached, the Creator of heaven and earth.
