"$
(the plur. of

THREATEN
1.
(

voice, Acts 4:17, where some texts have the noun
in addition, hence the
KJV
, “let
us straitly threaten,” lit., “let us threaten … with threatening (see

THREE
(
$!
, 5143) is regarded by many as a number sometimes symbolically
indicating fullness of testimony or manifestation, as in the three persons in the Godhead,
cf. 1 Tim. 5:19; Heb. 10:28; the mention in 1 John 5:7 is in a verse which forms no part
of the original; no Greek ms. earlier than the 14th century contained it; no version earlier
than the 5th cent. in any other language contains it, nor is it quoted by any of the Greek or
Latin “Fathers” in their writings on the Trinity. That there are those who bear witness in
Heaven is not borne out by any other Scripture. It must be regarded as the interpolation of
a copyist.
In Mark 9:31 and 10:34 the best texts have
, “after three days,”
which idiomatically expresses the same thing as
, “on the third day,”
which some texts have here, as, e.g., the phrase “the third day” in Matt. 17:23; 20:19;
Luke 9:22; 18:33, where the repetition of the article lends stress to the number, lit., “the
day the third”; 24:7, 46; Acts 10:40. For THREE TIMES see
