U2 have hidden an extremely subtle reference to a biblical passage on the cover of "All That You Can't Leave Behind". The photographs used on the cover were taken in Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, and the video for "Beautiful Day" was also filmed there. The picture on the front cover of the album has been doctored slightly since it was first taken, and has caused a lot of debate among U2 fans as a result. Originally the board on the left of the picture showed the name of a departure gate in the airport, but the band changed this to "J33-3->". It is generally agreed that this is a reference to a Biblical verse, but the debate centres around deciding which one. It was thought to be John 33: 3, but there is in fact no such verse. The "J" has also been said to stand for Jeremiah or Job, although Jeremiah is the more likely of the two, as it reads: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things which you have not known."
