Then Jesus called the disciples and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days and they have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry since they may faint on the way."

and declared, "This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.'"

and saying, "You who can destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are God's Son, come down from the cross!"

and said, "Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said, 'After three days I will rise again.'

"I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days, and they have nothing to eat.

Then Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

for he was teaching his disciples and telling them, "The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise."

They will mock him, spit on him, flog him severely, and kill him. Yet after three days, he will rise again."

"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with hands and in three days build another not made with hands.'"

We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days.

After three days Paul called the local Jewish leaders together. When they had assembled, he said to them, "Brothers, although I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our ancestors, from Jerusalem I was handed over as a prisoner to the Romans.

Three times I was beaten with a rod. Once I received a stoning. Three times I suffered shipwreck. A night and a day I spent adrift in the open sea.

Then I heard something like a voice from among the four living creatures saying, "A quart of wheat will cost a day's pay and three quarts of barley will cost a day's pay. But do not damage the olive oil and the wine!"

There are three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.

So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added.

Therefore be alert, remembering that night and day for three years I did not stop warning each one of you with tears.

And let us not be immoral, as some of them were, and twenty-three thousand died in a single day.

For from now on there will be five in one household divided, three against two and two against three.
