The document summarizes the biblical story of Jonah, who is called by God to preach to the city of Nineveh but initially refuses and flees by ship. When a big storm arises, Jonah tells the sailors to throw him overboard to calm the sea. He is swallowed by a large fish and after three days prays to God. He goes to Nineveh and preaches repentance, and the entire city turns to God. However, Jonah is angry and displeased that God spared the city. God teaches Jonah about mercy through a parable using a plant. The story of Jonah points to Jesus' greater mission to save humanity despite their sins.
