And Jesus calling His disciples to Him, said, I sympathize with the multitude, because already three days abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat; I do not wish to send them away fasting, lest they may faint on the road.

And afterwards two false witnesses having come forward, said, He said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and build it in three days.

Lord, we remember that that deceiver, while yet living, said, After three days I will rise.
