Context of John 2:23
21But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22When therefore he was raised from among [the] dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought. 24But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all [men], 25and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.
