Is ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τῆς γῆς in Matthew 12:40 an idiom for εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων in Mark 9:31?

I don't understand the question. Here's the verse:
Jonah was in the belly of the κήτους for three days and three nights. That's compared to Jesus being in the heart of the earth for three days and nights. This seems to refer to the time between the crucifixion and the resurrection.Matthew 12:40 wrote:ὥσπερ γὰρ ἦν Ἰωνᾶς ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ τοῦ κήτους τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας, οὕτως ἔσται ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ τῆς γῆς τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας.
So there's a sequence here:Mark 9:31 wrote:ἐδίδασκε γὰρ τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου παραδίδοται εἰς χεῖρας ἀνθρώπων, καὶ ἀποκτενοῦσιν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀποκτανθεὶς τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναστήσεται.
