Bible Book OrderSheen
Sheen is (21) Jonah, (43) Luke and (65) Third John.
Notes
There's a general theme in these books of receiving or not receiving someone who has traveled or been sent by God with a message. In the case of Jonah, the ninevites receive him and his message from God. This is a stark contrast with the leader of the church in Third John who rejects the brothers and puts out of his church those who want to receive the brothers. In Luke Jesus encounters similar scenarios.
- Jonah is received in Nineveh, but the brothers are not received by Demetrius.
- Jonah does not receive the ninevites however.
- Jesus is not received in his hometown or a Samaritan village (Luke 9:51).
- Jesus gives the sign of Jonah.
