John 2:21 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 2:21

John clarifies for the reader what Jesus really meant. This is one of Jesus' clearest predictions of His own resurrection, hidden in plain sight.

Memory phrase: His body, the temple

Talk about it: Why is it so amazing that Jesus said He would rise from the dead before He even died?

Prayer: Jesus, Your body died and rose again for me. That is the most amazing thing ever. Thank You.
