18 The Jewish authorities challenged Jesus, saying “What miraculous sign can you show to us that can prove that you have the authority to do what you have done?” 19 Jesus answered, “Tear down this Temple, and I will raise it again in three days.” 20 “How are you going to build it again in three days?” they asked him, “It has taken 46 years to build this Temple.”
21 But the Temple he was speaking of was his body. 22 After his resurrection, his Disciples recalled what he had said, and they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had said.
