Jonah 1:1• 1Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, (Jonah 1:1)
the second.
John 21:15‑17• 15So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
 16He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
 17He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. (John 21:15‑17)
• Jonah knew at heart that there was grace in God. Assuredly he and his nation had experienced it. But in this case, unless righteousness were apart from mercy, so that he who stood as witness of this righteousness might be honored-unless it were vindictive, so that he as its witness might be exalted-he would have nothing to do with it. Thenceforward he became incapable of it. For, in truth, God was gracious; and such a witness of Him as Jonah would have had was impossible-would not have been true. (“Jonah 3” by J.N. Darby)
• The word of Jehovah comes to Jonah again. How persistent is His goodness, and how vain for His servant to think of evading! (“Jonah 3” by W. Kelly)
• As we recall the case of John Mark in the New Testament (another servant of the Lord who turned aside from the service which he had received), and as we bear in mind that he was apparently laid aside from that service for possibly twenty years, it makes us realize more fully the seriousness of Jonah’s actions in the eyes of his Master. (“Jonah 3: Jonah Preaches” by G.C. Willis)
• Like Jonah, Israel, when restored to the Lord, will be a powerful witness for the Lord to the Gentile nations (Isa. 60:1-3, etc.). As Jonah preached to the Ninevites, so the remnant of Jews will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom to the world (Psa. 96), and many Gentiles will be converted and join themselves to the Lord (Psa. 47:9; Isa. 14:1; 55:5; 56:3-7; Zech. 2:11; Rev. 7: 9). (“The Prophecies of Jonah” by B. Anstey)
