Chapter 2 of the Book of John, continued

Verse 19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21. But He spake of the temple of His body.
22. When therefore He was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
23. Now when He was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in His name, when they saw the miracles which He did.
24. But Jesus did not commit Himself unto them, because He knew all men,
25. And needed not that any shojuld testify of man: for He knew what was in man.

Note: I'm posting the Book of John because, as I suggested earlier in this blog, the New Testament is the best place for a new believer to begin to read the Word of God. Of course, the Old Testament is also a great read. It tells you, from the beginning of creation, where we all came from, the history of God's people, prophecies about our Redeemer, miracles upon miracles that illustrate the power of God and the blessings of obedience, etc., etc.
