John 2:18-22

18Then the Jews asked Jesus, ‘What is your authority to do this? Do a miracle to show us that you really do have authority.’

19Jesus answered them, ‘If you destroy this house of God, I will build it up again in three days.’

20The Jews replied, ‘People have worked for 46 years to build this house. But you say that you will build it again in three days!’

21But the house that Jesus was speaking about was his own body.

22The disciples remembered this when Jesus had become alive again after his death. They remembered that he had said this. Then they believed what the Bible taught. They also believed the words that Jesus had spoken.
