What is a similar story of Jonah in the New Testament?
Elements of Jonah's three days in the belly of a great fish are paralleled in the New testament by Jesus' three days in the tomb. This is mentioned as being so in Matthew 12:40 (KJV): For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

What connections does the story Jonah and the big fish have to the life and death of Christ?
One connection Jonah has with Jesus Christ is that in Matthew 12:38-40 is that some of the scribes and Pharisees said, "Teacher, we want a sign from you". But Jesus answered, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth".
In the Bible how many days was Jonah in the whales stomach?
ANSWER: Jonah was in the belly of the sea creature for 3 days and 3 nights, the same length of time Christ was in the belly of the earth (Matthew 12:40, Jonah 1:17). This was the only sign given to the Pharisees proving that Christ was the Messiah.
Was Jonah around for the destruction of Nineveh?
He most likely returned to Israel shortly after delivering his prophecy. Note also that Nineveh was not destroyed as soon (40 days) as Jonah had prophesied. This is because the Ninevites repented fully (Jonah ch.3), at least for a time.See also:More about Jonah's prophecy

What did Jesus say about Jonas?
Do you mean Jonah? When Jesus was asked for a "miraculous sign", he told the people that none would be given except the sign of Jonah. Then he explained that just as Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days, so also would Jesus be in the "heart of the earth" for three days (Matthew 12:38-40). He also said that as Jonah was a sign to Ninevah, Jesus also was a sign to this generation (Luke 11:29-31).
Who in the Bible was swallowed by a whale and lived?
Jonah...Jonah 1:17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.Answer:The inspired scripture doesn't say "whale." It says that God "...PREPARED A GREAT FISH to swallow up Jonah..." (Jonah 1:17).It doesn't reveal what kind of fish... or if this "special" fish is extant today as a species.Nor does it say that Jonah was alive for those three days and three nights in the fish's belly. We are only told that in the fish's belly Jonah prayed... but not for how long.Jesus gave the "sign of Jonas" as THE ONLY "proof of His Messiahship:"...An evil and adulterous generation SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN; and there shall no sign be given to it, BUT THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS: For AS Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly [again, the inspired word is 'KETOS' -- or, HUGE FISH]; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH." (Matt.12:40)How was Jesus [after the manner of Jonah] in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights? Was He alive... or was He dead?Of course... He was "resurrected" from the dead... just AS Jonah was resurrected when: "...it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land." (Jonah 2:10)If Jonah was alive three days and three nights in the fish's belly... then so was Jesus alive [AS Jonah was] -- which would mean He never paid our ransom... the ONLY SIGN HE GAVE OF HIS MESSIAHSHIP FAILED... and Jesus Christ is not the Messiah.Yes, Jonah lived... but only after he was revived after three days and three nights.
What symbolic meaning does the story of Jonah have for us as christians?
The story of Jonah for Christians is symbolic of the mission of Jesus the Messiah, who preached repentance from sin and faith in God. As recorded in Matthew 12:40, Jesus refers to the 'sign of Jonah': "Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man (Jesus) be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights." In this Jesus indicates in advance that He must die for the atonement of the sin of mankind, but will rise to life after three days.
