Third Sunday after the Epiphany
Sermon Text
Jonah 3:1–5, 10
1 Then the word of the Lord came
to Jonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city,
and call out against it the message
that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and
went to Nineveh, according to the
word of the Lord.
Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’
journey in breadth. 4 Jonah began to
go into the city, going a day’s journey.
And he called out, “Yet forty days,
and Nineveh shall be overthrown!”
5 And the people of Nineveh believed
God. They called for a fast and put on
sackcloth, from the greatest of them
to the least of them. . . .
10 When God saw what they did,
how they turned from their evil way,
God relented of the disaster that he
had said he would do to them, and he
did not do it.
