Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

OET (OET-RV) [ref]But Yeshua answered, “Well, destroy this temple and I’ll raise[fn] it again in three days.”
2:19 We couldn’t easily use rebuild here because there’s a play on words—see verse 21.

2:19 ιησους ¦ ο ιησους TR
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
2:1-25 In this section, Jesus appeared at two symbolic Jewish ceremonies. At a wedding in Cana (2:1-12), he replaced the ritual cleansing water with his own superior wine. Later, around Passover, he cleansed the Temple (2:13-25).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
λύσατε τὸν ναὸν τοῦτον, καὶ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερῶ αὐτόν
destroy the temple this and in three days ˱I˲_˓will_be˒_raising it
This is an imperative, but it should be translated as introducing a hypothetical situation rather than as a command. Jesus is stating a hypothetical situation in which the event in the second clause would happen if the event in the first clause took place. In this case, Jesus would certainly raise the temple up if the Jewish authorities were to destroy it. Alternate translation: [If you destroy this temple, then in three days I will raise it up]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
λύσατε τὸν ναὸν τοῦτον, καὶ ἐν τρισὶν ἡμέραις ἐγερῶ αὐτόν
destroy the temple this and in three days ˱I˲_˓will_be˒_raising it
Here, John records Jesus using the words Destroy and raise to describe his killing and resurrection, as if tearing down and rebuilding a building. However, the Jewish leaders did not understand this and Jesus does not explain the metaphor to them. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
