'Three' in the Bible

For just as Jonah was three days in the sea-monster's belly, so will the Son of Man be three days in the heart of the earth.

Then Peter said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

But if he will not listen to you, go again, and ask one or two to go with you, that every word spoken may be attested by two or three witnesses.

For where there are two or three assembled in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

"So they went. Again about twelve, and about three o'clock, he went out and did the same.

"In solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that this very night, before the cock crows, you will three times disown me."

who testified, "This man said, 'I am able to pull down the Sanctuary of God and three days afterwards to build a new one.'"

and Peter recollected the words of Jesus, how He had said, "Before the cock crows you will three times disown me." And he went out and wept aloud, bitterly.

and said, "You who would pull down the Sanctuary and build a new one within three days, save yourself. If you are God's Son, come down from the cross."

Now from noon until three o'clock in the afternoon there was darkness over the whole land;

but about three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is to say, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
