“But he spake of the temple of his body.”
John 2:21 (KJV)
Commentary on John 2:21
John clarifies: 'But he spake of the temple of his body.' Jesus' body is the true temple—the meeting place of God and humanity. His resurrection after three days would vindicate His authority and fulfill this sign. The incarnation means God dwells not in buildings but in Christ Himself, and through Him, in believers. This redefines sacred space entirely.
