New Testament

John 2:20-25 Amplified Bible (AMP)

20. Then the Jews replied, It took forty-six years to build this temple (sanctuary), and will You raise it up in three days?

21. But He had spoken of the temple which was His body.

22. When therefore He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this. And so they believed and trusted and relied on the Scripture and the word (message) Jesus had spoken. [Ps. 16:10.]

23. But when He was in Jerusalem during the Passover Feast, many believed in His name [identified themselves with His party] after seeing His signs (wonders, miracles) which He was doing.

24. But Jesus [for His part] did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all [men];

25. And He did not need anyone to bear witness concerning man [needed no evidence from anyone about men], for He Himself knew what was in human nature. [He could read men's hearts.] [I Sam. 16:7.]
