'Three Days' in the Bible

For just as Jonah was in the maw of the whale for three days and nights, the Son of Man will be three days and nights in the heart of the earth.

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said to them, "I pity these people for they have been staying with me three days now and they have nothing left to eat, and I do not mean to send them away hungry, for they may give out on the way."

and said, "This man said, 'I can tear down the sanctuary of God, and build it up in three days.' "

and saying, "You who would tear down the sanctuary, and build one in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

and said, "Sir, we remember that when this impostor was alive he said, 'After three days I will rise again!'
