Jonah 1:11-13 ▼

11 So they said to him, “What should we do to you so that the sea will become calm for us?”—for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.

12 And he said to them, “Pick me up and hurl me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, because I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you.”

13 However, the men rowed desperately to return to land, but they could not, because the sea was becoming even stormier against them.
