Read in Logos
John 2:19: Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

Footnotes

  1. 42 Grk “answered and said to them.”
  2. 43 The imperative here is really more than a simple conditional imperative (= “if you destroy”); its semantic force here is more like the ironical imperative found in the prophets (Amos 4:4, Isa 8:9) = “Go ahead and do this and see what happens.”
