Gen 18,1-2 : Abraham looked up and saw three men standing before him.

Num 6,24-25 : The Lord bless you and keep you! May the Lord show you his face and grant you his grace!

Is 6:3 : Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God of hosts! The whole earth proclaims his glory!

Mt 12:40 : As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the fish, so is the Son of Man.
