'Matt 12:40 *three days and three nights.* Quoted from Jon. 1:17. This sort of expression was a common way of underscoring the prophetic significance of a period of time. 'An expression like "forty days and forty nights" may in some cases simply refer to a period of time longer than a month.' (MacArthur Study Bible, p. 1415, Word Publishing, 1997). |
