Yohanes 2:19

2:19 Jesus replied, ¹  “Destroy ²  this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”

Yohanes 10:40

10:40 Jesus ³  went back across the Jordan River ⁴  again to the place where John ⁵  had been baptizing at an earlier time, ⁶  and he stayed there.

[2:19]  ¹ tn Grk “answered and said to them.”

[2:19]  ² tn The imperative here is really more than a simple conditional imperative (= “if you destroy”); its semantic force here is more like the ironical imperative found in the prophets (Amos 4:4, Isa 8:9) = “Go ahead and do this and see what happens.”

[10:40]  ³ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:40]  ⁴ tn The word “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.

[10:40]  ⁵ sn John refers to John the Baptist.

[10:40]  ⁶ tn Grk “formerly.”

[10:40]  sn This refers to the city of Bethany across the Jordan River (see John 1:28).
