John 2:20
Forty and six years. It had been forty-six years since Herod the
Great began the reconstruction of the temple, and it was not yet
entirely completed. When Jesus was on trial before the Sanhedrin, these
words were brought up as blasphemy.
John 2:19-22
Destroy this temple. His own body. The sign that he would give
the Jewish nation was his Resurrection. The Jews did not understand
him, nor his own disciples, until after he rose from the dead
(Matthew 26:60 Mr 14:58).
