When translated into Greek, the Hebrew word for “fish” was rendered “sea monster,” or “huge fish.” Although there is no way to determine exactly what kind of sea creature was involved, it has been observed that there are sharks in the Mediterranean large enough to swallow a man whole. There are far larger sharks elsewhere; the whale shark can reach up to 45 feet (15 m) in length—possibly even more!

“If your brother commits a sin, go and reveal his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
