Replace the question mark with a number

The new preacher had just begun his sermon.
He was a little nervous, and about ten minutes into the sermon his mind went blank.
After a brief second of complete panic, he remembered what they had taught him in seminary about situations like this: repeat the last point.

His teacher assured him this would help him remember what was supposed to come next. So he gave it a try."Behold, I come quickly," he said. Still his mind was blank. He tried again. "Behold, I come quickly."

Still nothing.He tried one more time -- speaking and gesturing with such force that he fell forward, knocking the pulpit to one side, tripping over the flower pot, and falling into the lap of a little old lady in the front row.
The young preacher apologized profusely. "That’s all right, young man," said the little old lady.
"It was my fault. I should have gotten out of the way.
You told me three times you were coming!"
