John 2:19-25 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

19. Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and I will build it again in three days.”

20. The Jews answered, “Men worked 46 years to build this Temple! Do you really believe you can build it again in three days?”

21. (But the temple Jesus meant was his own body.

22. After Jesus was raised from death, his followers remembered that Jesus had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the words Jesus said.)

23. Jesus was in Jerusalem for the Passover Feast. Many people believed in him because they saw the miracles he did.

24. But Jesus did not believe in them because he knew them all.

25. He did not need anyone to tell him about people. Jesus knew what was in a person’s mind.
