New Testament
The New Testament is the section of the Bible considered by Christians to be their sacred writing. The New Testament includes the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, as well as letters by various apostles including Paul. Calling this section of the Bible new acknowledges its more recent writing, not that it supersedes the previous section, usually called the Old Testament. The New Testament is also sometimes referred to as the New Covenant.

Nineveh
Nineveh (/ˈnɪnɪvə/; Akkadian) was an ancient Assyrian city of Upper Mesopotamia, located on the outskirts of Mosul in modern-day northern Iraq. It is located on the eastern bank of the Tigris River, and was the capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire
It was the largest city in the world for some fifty years until the year 612 BC when, after a bitter period of civil war in Assyria, it was sacked by a coalition of its former subject peoples, the Babylonians, Medes, Chaldeans, Persians, Scythians and Cimmerians. Its ruins are across the river from the modern-day major city of Mosul, in Iraq's Nineveh Governorate.
Nineveh is the main location for the actions of the prophet Jonah in the book of Jonah.
