John 2:20-25

20“What!” they exclaimed. “It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple, and you can rebuild it in three days?”

21But when Jesus said “this temple,” he meant his own body.

22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered he had said this, and they believed both the Scriptures and what Jesus had said.

23Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.

24But Jesus didn’t trust them, because he knew all about people.

25No one needed to tell him about human nature, for he knew what was in each person’s heart.
