AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 12:40 for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. [Jon 1:17] |
Bible Question (short): Sea Monster vs. Fish (Mt. 12:40,Jh 1:17) |
Question (full): (Translational/Textual Question/Criticism) In Matthew 12:40, the NASB rendering includes "IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER", but in Jonah 1:17 states that it was actually a great fish that swallowed Jonah.. Any thoughts on why the NASB renders Matthew 12:40 as "sea monster" instead of simply 'fish'? |
