Jesus and Jonah

I was reading in Greek for my quiet time.  At least it makes me slow down, and then I found a strong similarity in the plot of two stories:

1. a man goes onto the boat and then fall into sleep deeply
2. an unusual storm comes, so that even experienced in sailing was shocked
3. the man was waken up, and was blamed about his indifference
4. the storm was claimed down, and people feared God afterward

Jesus and Jonah.

Is it allusion or typology?  Worth further studying...
