In the bible, Jesus Christ asks Peter "Do you love me?" 3 times, covering the three levels of the mind: subconscious, superconscious, and the concious mind. Jesus Christ was also denied by Peter 3 times, and He rose from the grave after 3 days, and He was one of 3 that we crucified on the day (between 2 thieves), at the third hour. Satan tempts Jesus 3 times before giving up. On the third day of creation the earth is made. The bible records Jesus raising 3 people from the dead.
