Baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
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.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Three is the count Scripture uses for a whole witness and for the God who is one. Jesus sent the church to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. One name. Three persons. That is the Trinity, not three gods. Jonah was three days and three nights in the fish. The Son of man said He would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, and on the third day rise. Two or three witnesses establish a word. A threefold cord is not quickly broken. Three is a complete witness. It is not a charm.
