John 2:20 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 2:20

The leaders misunderstood Jesus completely because they were thinking in physical terms. They could not imagine the deeper meaning — that He was talking about rising from the dead.

Memory phrase: Forty-six years to build

Talk about it: Have you ever misunderstood what someone said? What happened?

Prayer: God, open my heart and mind to understand Your Word. Help me not miss what You are really saying.
