'Third Day' in the Bible

from that time began Jesus to let his disciples know that he should go to Jerusalem, there suffer many indignities from the senators, chief priests, and scribes, be put to death, and be raised again the third day.

they will kill him, but the third day he shall be raised again. at which they were exceeding sorry.

and deliver him up to the Gentiles, to be insulted, scourged, and crucified: but the third day he shall rise again.

pray therefore order a guard to be posted at the sepulchre till the third day, for fear his disciples should come and steal him away, and then tell the people, "he is risen from the dead:" for this last imposture would be of worse consequence than the first.
