13: And the
Jews' Passover was at hand and Jesus went up to Jerusalem 14: And found
in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves and the changers of money
sitting 15: And when he had made a scourge of small cords he drove them
all out of the temple and the sheep and the oxen and poured out the changers'
money and overthrew the tables 16: And said to them that sold doves Take these things from here make not my
Father's house a house of merchandise 17: And his disciples
remembered that it was written The zeal of thine house has eaten me up 18:
Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign do you show to us seeing that
you do these things 19: Jesus answered and said to them Destroy this temple and in three days I
will raise it up[1]
20: Then said the Jews Forty and six years was this temple in
building and wilt you raise it up in three days 21: But he spoke of the
temple of his body
[1]
This was a clear reference to both his identity as the Almighty—YHWH—and to his physical resurrection. Both of these facts are attested to in many
other scriptures including 2 Timothy 3:16 (Received Text) and Acts 2:31. Jesus stated that he would raise his own body up. Only God could do such a thing. In verse :21, it very clearly states that the resurrection would be a physical one. It would be his body that was raised from the dead.
