Daniel had 3 friends who were cast into a fiery furnace by a king, because they would not worship him over God. (They came out unharmed, because God protected them.)

You may be thinking God took seven days to create the earth but he actually took six. He rested on the seventh day. During the six days God created the heavens, Earth, Sun, the sky, water, plants, animals, birds, and us of course! (And we think school deadlines are bad). This story is found in Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 2:3.
Peter denied knowing Jesus three times before his death (Jesus' not Peter's). This story can be found in Luke 22:54-62. 6-3=3.
