ACC ~ Mark 14 v58b

WHICH TEMPLE WOULD BE REBUILT?

ORIGEN: The accusations they brought against our Lord Jesus Christ appear to have reference to this utterance of his, “Destroy this temple, and I will build it up in three days.” [1] Though he was speaking of the temple of his body, they supposed his words to refer to the temple of stone.

[1] Jn 2:19.

[2] ANF 9:402*; TLG 2042.005, 10.37.251.3-252.3. His resurrection, the resurrection of the temple of his body, would occur within three days.
