153

Three digits, odd

One hundred fifty-three, the integer between 152 and 154.

In Christian tradition, 153 is the number of fish caught in the miraculous draught described in the Gospel of John, which has inspired centuries of numerological interpretation.

Mathematically, it's the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of the cubes of its digits: 1³ + 5³ + 3³ = 153.
