Jonah 1:11-15
Jonah 1:11
“What shall we do to you to calm the storm?” they asked him, since the storm was getting worse.
Jonah 1:12
“Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” Jonah replied. “Then the sea will become calm, because I know it's because of me that you're in this terrible storm.”
Jonah 1:13
Instead the sailors tried to row to get back to the shore, but they couldn't because the sea had become so wild from the worsening storm.
Jonah 1:14
Then they called out to the Lord, “Lord! Please don't kill us for sacrificing this man's life or for spilling innocent blood, for you, Lord, made it happen.”
Jonah 1:15
So they picked Jonah up and threw him into the sea, and it became calm.
