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).


TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

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.
