John 2:21 in context

The verses around it, from John 2.

17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for Your house will consume Me.”

18 On account of this, the Jews demanded, “What sign can You show us to prove Your authority to do these things?”

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

20 “This temple took forty-six years to build,” the Jews replied, “and You are going to raise it up in three days?”

21 But Jesus was speaking about the temple of His body.

22 After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

23 While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.

24 But Jesus did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew them all.

25 He did not need any testimony about man, for He knew what was in a man.
