Jonah 1:17 explains the fish was provided by God—here God commands that same fish to release Jonah.

Psalm 33:9 declares God's word instantly accomplishes his will; here that same power is directly demonstrated as the fish obeys his command.

In Matthew 17:27, a fish obeys Jesus' command to provide the temple tax — similar to God commanding the fish here to deliver Jonah.

Luke 11:30 identifies Jonah as a sign — the fish deliverance here prefigures Jesus' resurrection as that sign.

Genesis 1:21 shows God creating the great sea creatures — the same beings he later commands here to serve his purposes.

In Matthew 8:26, Jesus commands wind and sea — demonstrating the same divine authority over creation that God shows here by commanding the fish.
