John 2:20 in Context — John 2
18 Les Juifs, prenant la parole, lui dirent: Quel miracle nous montres-tu, pour agir de la sorte?
19 Jésus leur répondit: Détruisez ce temple, et en trois jours je le relèverai.
20 Les Juifs dirent: Il a fallu quarante-six ans pour bâtir ce temple, et toi, en trois jours tu le relèveras!
21 Mais il parlait du temple de son corps.
22 C’est pourquoi, lorsqu’il fut ressuscité des morts, ses disciples se souvinrent qu’il avait dit cela, et ils crurent à l’Écriture et à la parole que Jésus avait dite.
