And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:61 Go To Matthew 26
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
This man said: I am able to destroy the temple of God. These men that gave this evidence, are called false witnesses. They relate not the true words of Christ; which were not, I can destroy, but destroy you this temple 2. Christ spoke of the temple of his body, and they of the material temple. 3. It is not unlikely that they made other additions, as well as false constructions, omitted by the evangelists. (Witham)
