a tale of two sons

 Matthew 20 [20] Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
[21] And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
[22] But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
[23] And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

 Revelation 19[10] And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

 

your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find references to "fellowservant".

Matthew 12

 [40] 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.

 Revelation 10

[9] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
[10] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
[11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

 

Jonah was to deliver the word of God to Nineveh. Jonah was God's word in person or delivered verbally. Jonah was swallowed by a great fish, ending up in the fishes belly. In this way God's word was in the belly.

John is instructed to eat the little book. The little book had God's word and God's word ends up in John's belly.

Jonah presumably made the fish's belly upset, because the fish vomits Jonah out near Nineveh. Then Jonah prophesies to Nineveh of God's destruction.

 John eats the little book and it makes his belly bitter. He is told that he must prophesy again, regurgitating God's word.

Jonah prophesied to one people and one king.

John must prophesy to multiple nations and multiple kings.
