'Three Days' in the Bible

for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them, I am concern'd for this people; they have attended me now three days, without eating: I will not send them away fasting, lest they saint by the way. but his disciples said to him,

"I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days."

and cry'd, you that could destroy the temple, and rebuild it in three days, now save thy self: if thou art the son of God, come down from the cross.

saying, sir, we remember that this impostor, when he was alive, said, "after three days I will rise again."
