Three days after, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee; where the mother of Jesus was present.

After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they were there not more than two or three days.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

On His arrival Jesus found that Lazarus had already been three days in the tomb.

"Take away the stone," said Jesus. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, "Master, by this time there is a foul smell; for it is three days since he died."
