Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek adverb τρίς, the concept of "three times" or the significance of the number three can be found in various Hebrew contexts. Some related Hebrew entries include:

Strong's Hebrew 7969 (שָׁלוֹשׁ, shalosh): Meaning "three."
Strong's Hebrew 6471 (פַּעַם, pa'am): Often used to denote occurrences or repetitions, such as "times" or "occasions."

These Hebrew terms, like τρίς, are used in the Old Testament to convey the importance of the number three in various narratives and laws, reflecting a similar thematic emphasis on completeness and divine order.

Usage: The term τρίς is used in the New Testament to indicate an action or event that occurs three times. It is often employed in contexts where repetition or emphasis is significant.

Context: The Greek adverb τρίς appears in several key passages within the New Testament, emphasizing the importance of the number three in biblical narratives. This term is used to denote the repetition of an action or event, often highlighting its significance or the fulfillment of a prophecy.

One notable instance of τρίς is found in the account of Peter's denial of Jesus. In Matthew 26:34, Jesus foretells, "Truly I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." This prophecy is fulfilled as recorded in Matthew 26:75, where Peter indeed denies Jesus thrice, underscoring the gravity of the moment and Peter's subsequent remorse.

Another significant use of τρίς is in John 21:17, where Jesus asks Peter three times, "Do you love Me?" This thrice-repeated question serves to restore Peter after his earlier denials, symbolizing forgiveness and reinstatement.

The use of τρίς in these contexts reflects a broader biblical pattern where the number three often signifies completeness or divine perfection. The repetition of actions or statements three times can indicate certainty and emphasis, drawing the reader's attention to the theological or moral weight of the narrative.
