Marc 14:58

58 Nous lui avons entendu dire: Je détruirai ce temple, fait de main d'homme, et dans trois jours j'en rebâtirai un autre, qui ne sera point fait de main d'homme.

Marc 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).

Marc 14:58 In-Context

56 Car plusieurs rendaient de faux témoignages contre lui; mais leurs dépositions ne s'accordaient pas.

57 Alors quelques-uns se levèrent, qui portèrent un faux témoignage contre lui, disant:

58 Nous lui avons entendu dire: Je détruirai ce temple, fait de main d'homme, et dans trois jours j'en rebâtirai un autre, qui ne sera point fait de main d'homme.

59 Mais leur déposition ne s'accordait pas non plus.

60 Alors le souverain sacrificateur, se levant au milieu du sanhédrin, interrogea Jésus, et lui dit: Ne réponds-tu rien? Qu'est-ce que ces gens déposent contre toi?
