The Three Nephites in the Gospel of Matthew
Three times Jesus wrestling with His own weakness. Three times though He proves that He's strong enough to overcome the weakness of the flesh and fully live into the strength of the Spirit. And yet three times we'll see a lot of threes today. The apostles are sleeping physically as well as spiritually, and Jesus needed them to be awake. When you get to third Nephi eighteen and Jesus teaches prayer, so much of what He says to the Nephites is exactly what He experienced in Gethsemane and pled with His apostles for as a result.
