19. Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and I will build it again in three days.”
20. The Jews answered, “Men worked 46 years to build this Temple! Do you really believe you can build it again in three days?”
21. (But the temple Jesus meant was his own body.
22. After Jesus was raised from death, his followers remembered that Jesus had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the words Jesus said.)
