John / Question
Question source
John
Jesus gives this statement when asked for a sign, and the listeners think he is talking about the Jerusalem temple (John 2:19–20). John explains that Jesus “was speaking about the temple of his body” (John 2:21).
19Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
20The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this temple in building, and will you raise it up in three days?"
21But he spoke of the temple of his body.
