Further Query of the Jews

Text: John 2:20-25

FURTHER QUERY OF THE JEWS

The Jews demanded a clearer explanation of what Jesus said.

1. The physical Temple

a. The Temple was built by King Herod.
b. It had taken forty-six years to build the temple (John 2:20).
c. The Temple was a magnificent building.

2. Raising the Temple in three days

a. How could Jesus raise the Temple in three days?
b. This answer of Jesus was dismissed!

THE SPIRITUAL TEMPLE

Jesus was not referring to the physical temple at all. He was referring to Himself (John 2:21).

1. The body is also called “the temple of God” (1 Corinthians 3:16).

2. Jesus was giving the sign that the Jews had demanded.

a. He was foretelling His death and resurrection.
b. One day He would be killed.
c. But He would be raised on the third day!

3. The Disciples of Jesus

a. They remembered what the Lord Jesus had said to them years later.
b. This knowledge added to the faith of the Disciples (John 2:22).

OTHER SIGNS

Did Jesus show the Jews the sign that they demanded? He did!

1. At the Temple

a. In front of many witnesses
b. Jesus performed many signs.

2. What were these signs?

a. These were miracles.
b. Miracles would take the power of God to perform them.

These would be clear signs that Jesus had the authority to cleanse the temple.

3. Many were impressed when they saw these signs and they believed Him! But Jesus did not commit Himself to them. He knew who the true believers were (John 2:23-24).

经文：约翰福音 2: 20－25

犹太人更进一步的质问

犹太人对耶稣所说的话要求更清楚的解释。

1. 有形的殿

a. 那殿是希律王建造的
b. 花了四十六年的时间来建造这所殿《约翰福音 2: 20》
c. 那是一所宏伟的建筑

2. 三日内再把殿建立起来

a. 耶稣怎能在三日内把殿再建立起来呢？《约翰福音 2: 20》
b. 耶稣的答案被否決了

属灵的殿

耶稣指的不是有形的殿，而是自己《约翰福音 2: 21》

1. 身体也可称为 “神的殿” (哥林多前书 3: 16)

2. 耶稣依犹太人所求而显示了神迹

a. 祂预告祂的死亡和复活
b. 有朝祂会被杀身亡
c. 但三天后衪将会复活

3. 耶稣的门徒

a. 许多年后他们会想起耶稣所说的这些话
b. 这知识使门徒们的信心更加强健《约翰福音 2: 22》

其它的神迹

耶稣会依犹太人所求而显示神迹吗？祂做了！

1. 在殿里

a. 在许多目击者眼前
b. 耶稣行了许多神迹

2.这些神迹是什么？

a. 它们是奇事
b. 奇事是需要上帝的大能来施行的

这些足以证明耶稣有权力可以洁净殿。

3. 许多目击者因目睹了神迹后而信靠祂！可是耶稣并没有将自己交托给他们。祂知道谁才是真正的信徒《约翰福音 2: 23-24》
