John 2:19-25 ▼

19 Jesus answered them, |Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will rebuild it.|

20 The Jewish leaders said, |This sanctuary has been under construction for 46 years, and you're going to rebuild it in three days?|

21 But the sanctuary he was speaking about was his own body.

22 After he had been raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scripture and the statement that Jesus had made.

23 While Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Festival, many people believed in him because they saw the signs that he was doing.

24 Jesus, however, did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people

25 and didn't need anyone to tell him what people were like, because he himself knew what was in every person.
