Marcos 14:58

58 Nosotros le hemos oído decir: Yo derribaré este Templo, que es hecho de manos, y en tres días edificaré otro hecho sin manos.

Marcos 14:58 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:58

We heard him say
In a discourse of his, recorded in ( John 2:19 ) :

I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three
days I will build another made without hands;
which was a very false testimony; for Christ did not say be would destroy any temple at all, only put the Jews on doing it; much less did he point at, or design the temple of Jerusalem, but his own body; nor did he use the distinction of a temple, made with and without hands; nor did he affirm that he would build another; only said, he would raise up in three days, that which they should destroy. By this testimony these witnesses would suggest, that Christ had a design upon their temple to demolish it, and that he must be a sorcerer, or a magician, to pretend to build a temple without hands in three days time; (See Gill on Matthew 26:61).

Marcos 14:58 In-Context

56 Porque muchos decían falso testimonio contra él; mas sus testimonios no concertaban.

57 Entonces levantándose unos, dieron falso testimonio contra él, diciendo:

58 Nosotros le hemos oído decir: Yo derribaré este Templo, que es hecho de manos, y en tres días edificaré otro hecho sin manos.

59 Mas ni aun así se concertaba el testimonio de ellos.

60 Entonces el sumo sacerdote, levantándose en medio, preguntó a Jesús, diciendo: ¿No respondes algo? ¿Qué atestiguan éstos contra ti?
