58 —Nosotros le oímos decir: “Destruiré este templo hecho por hombres y en tres días construiré otro, no hecho por hombres”.

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 Muchos testificaban falsamente contra él, pero sus declaraciones no coincidían.

57 Entonces unos decidieron dar este falso testimonio contra él:

58 —Nosotros le oímos decir: “Destruiré este templo hecho por hombres y en tres días construiré otro, no hecho por hombres”.

59 Pero ni aun así concordaban sus declaraciones.

60 Poniéndose de pie en el medio, el sumo sacerdote interrogó a Jesús:—¿No tienes nada que contestar? ¿Qué significan estas denuncias en tu contra?
