John 2:18 (NIV) Then the
Jews demanded of him, ÒWhat miraculous sign
can you show us to prove your authority to do
all this?Ó 19 Jesus answered them, ÒDestroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.Ó 20 The
Jews replied, ÒIt has taken forty-six years to build
this temple, and you are going to raise
it in three days?Ó 21 But the temple he had spoken
of was his body. 22 After he was raised
from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.
