Line 380:
*** "Jesus answered (Peter), Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice". - John 13:38
**** And then, after his resurrection, Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves him, extracting from Peter a promise to continue his work three times before he leaves him alone. This is often regarded as a symbolic reversal of Peter's thrice-denial of Jesus before his death. Also cf. the Fight Club example above.
*** God has to tell Peter pork is OK to eat now three times before he listens.
*** The three Christian virtues: Faith, Hope, Love/Charity (Charity refers to ''agape'' or selfless love, as opposed to Eros as self-gratifying and/or sexual love).
*** Also, although the only reference to this event in the Gospels states that [[Jesus]] was placed "in a manger, because there was no room for them at the inn", Nativity plays tend to show two innkeepers telling Mary and Joseph to go elsewhere because all the rooms are taken—before a third also says that there are no rooms, but that Mary and Joseph may use the stable, since Mary is pregnant.
