'Third' in the Bible
From then on Jesus began to point out to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders, chief priests, and scribes, be killed, and be raised the third day.
They will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” And they were deeply distressed.
Then they will hand Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked, flogged, and crucified, and He will be resurrected on the third day.”
But the farmers took his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
The same happened to the second also, and the third, and so to all seven.
After leaving them, He went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
Therefore give orders that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come, steal Him, and tell the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead.’ Then the last deception will be worse than the first.”
