Matthew 26:61
I am able to destroy the temple of God ( δυναμα καταλυσα τον ναον του θεου ). What he had said (Joh 2:19) referred to the temple of his body which they were to destroy (and did) and which he would raise again in three days as he did. It was a pitiful perversion of what Jesus had said and even so the two witnesses disagreed in their misrepresentation (Mr 14:59).
