Jesus gave the sign of Jonah to the Pharisees to indicate His
Answer Details
Jesus gave the sign of Jonah to the Pharisees to indicate His death and resurrection. The Pharisees asked Jesus to show them a sign from heaven to prove his authority, but Jesus refused to give them a sign except for the sign of Jonah. Jonah was a prophet who was swallowed by a great fish and was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights before being spit out alive. Jesus used this story as a metaphor for His own death and resurrection. He would be buried for three days, just as Jonah was in the belly of the fish, and then rise from the dead. This was the ultimate sign of His authority and messianic role, and it confirmed His claims to be the Son of God.
