Context of Mark 14:58
56Many gave false testimony against him, but their statements did not agree. 57Then some men stood up and gave false testimony against him. They said, “We heard him say, ‘I’ll tear down this temple made by humans, and in three days I’ll build another temple, one not made by human hands.’ ” 59But their testimony did not agree even on this point. 60So the chief priest stood up in the center and asked Jesus, “Don’t you have any answer to what these men testify against you?”

He was asked, Art thou the Son of the Blessed? that…Read the comment

We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands--On this charge, observe, first, that eager as His enemies were to find criminal matter against our Lord, they had to go back to the outset of His ministry, His first visit to Jerusalem, more than three years before this.
