John 2:18-25 in English

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰ The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

²⁵ and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ So the Jews answered and asked Him, “What sign do You show to us, since You do these things?”

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

²⁰ Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But the temple He had spoken of was His body.

²² After He was raised from the dead, His disciples recalled what He had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

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

²⁴ But Jesus didn’t commit Himself to them, because He knew all people,

²⁵ and had no need for anyone to testify about people, for He knew what was in people.

¹⁸ Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

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 should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰ The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

²⁵ and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ So one of the Jewish leaders SYN replied to him, “What miracle will you perform to show us that you have authority from God to do these things?”

¹⁹ Jesus replied to them, “If/When you destroy this temple, I will build it again within three days.”

²⁰ So the Jewish leaders SYN said, “We have been building this Temple for forty-six years and it is not finished yet! So ◄there is no way you will build it within three days!/how will you build it within three days?► RHQ”

²¹ But when Jesus said that about the temple, he was really talking about his own body.

²² Later, after Jesus had died and had become alive again, we his disciples remembered the words he had said. As a result, we believed what had been prophesied in the Scriptures about the Messiah becoming alive again, and we believed that what Jesus said was true.

²³ While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many people came to believe that he was the Messiah because they saw the miracles he was performing.

²⁴ But he did not let them tell him what he should do as the Messiah, because he knew within himself what they were all thinking.

²⁵ He did not need anyone to tell him what others were thinking, because he already knew what they were thinking and wanting.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

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

²⁰ The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

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

²⁰ The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

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

²⁰ The Jews therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ Then the Jews put this question to him: What sign of authority have you to give us, seeing that you do these things?

¹⁹ And Jesus said to them, Send destruction on this Temple and I will put it up again in three days.

²⁰ The Jews said, The building of this Temple took forty-six years; and you will put it up in three days!

²¹ But his words were about that holy building which was his body.

²² So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

²³ Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

²⁴ But Jesus did not have faith in them, because he had knowledge of them all.

²⁵ He had no need for any witness about man; for he himself had knowledge of what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign shewest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰ The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple building, and thou wilt raise it up in three days?

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from among the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³ And when he was in Jerusalem, at the passover, at the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he wrought.

²⁴ But Jesus himself did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men,

²⁵ and that he had not need that any should testify of man, for himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰ The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.

²³ Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,

²⁵ And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?”

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

²⁰ Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?”

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

²² Therefore, when He was raised up from among the dead, His disciples remembered that He spoke this thing, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³ Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed on His name when they saw the signs that He was doing.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men,

²⁵ and had no need that anyone should testify concerning man, for He himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ So the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do you show us, since you do these things?”

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it.”

²⁰ So the Jews said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it in three days?!”

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

²² Therefore, when He was raised from among the dead His disciples remembered that He had said this; so they believed the Scripture, even the word that Jesus had spoken.

²³ Now while He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed into His name, observing the signs that He was doing.

²⁴ But as for Jesus Himself, He did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men

²⁵ and that He had no need that anyone should testify about man, because He Himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jewish leaders reacted, asking him, “What right do you have to do this? Show us some miraculous sign to prove it!”

¹⁹ Jesus replied, “Destroy this Temple, and in three days I'll raise it up!”

²⁰ “It took forty-six years to build this Temple, and you're going to raise it up in three days?” the Jewish leaders replied.

²¹ But the Temple Jesus was speaking of was his body.

²² After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered what he said, and so they believed in Scripture and Jesus' own words.

²³ As a result of the miracles Jesus did while he was in Jerusalem during the Passover, many believed in him.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all about people.

²⁵ He didn't need anyone to tell him about human nature for he knew the way people think.

¹⁸ Then answered the Iewes, and saide vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, that thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three daies I will raise it vp againe.

²⁰ Then said the Iewes, Fourtie and sixe yeeres was this Temple a building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies?

²¹ But he spake of the temple of his bodie.

²² Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the worde which Iesus had saide.

²³ Nowe when hee was at Hierusalem at the Passeouer in the feast, many beleeued in his Name, when they sawe his miracles which he did.

²⁴ But Iesus did not commit him selfe vnto them, because he knewe them all,

²⁵ And had no neede that any should testifie of man: for he knewe what was in man.

¹⁸ Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

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 should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered and said to him, What sign dost thou show us, seeing thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

²⁰ Then said the Jews, Forty-six years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

²³ And when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, at the feast, many believed in his name, when they saw his signs which he wrought.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men;

²⁵ and had no need that any one should testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”

¹⁹ “Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”

²⁰ “This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”

²¹ But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.

²² Afterward, when he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the passage of scripture, and the words which Jesus had spoken.

²³ While Jesus was in Jerusalem, during the Passover Festival, many came to trust in him, when they saw the signs of his mission that he was giving.

²⁴ But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.

²⁵ He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.

¹⁸ Then some of the religious authorities asked Jesus, “What sign are you going to show us, since you act in this way?”

¹⁹ “Destroy this temple,” was his answer, “and I will raise it in three days.”

²⁰ “This Temple,” the authorities replied, “has been forty-six years in building, and are you going to ‘raise it in three days’?”

²¹ But Jesus was speaking of his body as a temple.

²⁴ But Jesus did not put himself in their power because he knew what was in their hearts.

²⁵ He did not need anyone to tell him about people because he could read what was in them.

¹⁸ The Jews Praisers therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

¹⁹ Yeshua Salvation answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

²⁰ The Jews Praisers therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Yeshua Salvation had said.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem City of peace at the Pesac ·Passover·, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Yeshua Salvation didn’t trust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: what token shewest thou vnto vs seynge that thou dost these thinges?

¹⁹ Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: destroye this temple and in thre dayes I will reare it vp agayne.

²⁰ Then sayde the Iewes: xlvi. yeares was this temple abuyldinge: and wylt thou reare it vp in thre dayes:

²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

²² Assone therfore as he was rysen from deeth agayne his disciples remembred that he thus sayde. And they beleved the scripture and the wordes which Iesus had sayde.

²³ When he was at Ierusalem at ester in the feaste many beleved on his name when they sawe his miracles which he dyd.

²⁴ But Iesus put not him selfe in their hondes because he knewe all men

²⁵ and neded not, that eny man shuld testify of man. For he knewe what was in man.

¹⁸ Then the Jewish authorities responded and said to him, “What sign will you show us, since you are doing these things?”

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

²⁰ Then the Jewish authorities said, “This temple was built in forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?”

²¹ However, he was speaking about the temple of his body.

²² After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the scripture and this statement that Jesus had spoken.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover festival, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he did.

²⁴ But Jesus did not trust in them because he knew them all,

²⁵ because he did not need anyone to testify to him about man, for he knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

²⁴ But Jesus didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said to him, What sign showest thou to us, seeing that thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to 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 spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he had risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this to them: and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

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 performed.

²⁴ But Jesus did not commit himself to them, because he knew all men .

²⁵ And needed not that any should testify concerning man: for he knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Judeans therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

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

²⁰ The Judeans therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

²¹ But he spoke of the temple of his body.

²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Yeshua had said.

²³ Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.

²⁴ But Yeshua didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ The Judeans therefore answered him, “What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things?”

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

²⁰ The Judeans therefore said, “It took forty-six years to build this temple! Will you raise it up in three days?”

²⁴ But Yeshua didn’t entrust himself to them, because he knew everyone,

²⁵ and because he didn’t need for anyone to testify concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, What token or sign showest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them, Undo ye this temple, and in three days I shall raise it.

²⁰ Therefore the Jews said to him, In forty and six years this temple was builded, and shalt thou in three days raise it?

²¹ But he said of the temple of his body.

²² Therefore when he was risen from death, his disciples had mind, that he said these things of his body; and they believed to the scripture, and to the word that Jesus said.

²³ And when Jesus was at Jerusalem in pask, in the feast day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did.

²⁴ But Jesus trusted not himself to them, for he knew all men;

²⁵ and for it was not need to him, that any man should bear witnessing of man, for he knew, what was in man.

¹⁸ Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, What token or What sign showest thou to us, that thou doest these things?

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them, Undo ye this temple (or Destroy this temple), and in three days I shall raise it (up again).

²⁰ Therefore the Jews said to him, In forty and six years this temple was builded, and shalt thou in three days raise it (up again)? (And so the Jews said to him, This Temple took forty-six years to build, and shalt thou raise it up again in three days?)

²¹ But he said of the temple of his body.

²² Therefore when he was risen from death, his disciples had mind (or his disciples remembered), that he said these things of his body, Therefore when he had risen from (the) dead, his disciples had mind, for he said this thing; and they believed to the scripture, and to the word that Jesus said.

²³ And when Jesus was at Jerusalem in pask, in the feast day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did. (And when Jesus was in Jerusalem for Passover, on the Feast Day, or for the Festival, many believed in him, seeing the miracles that he did.)

²⁴ But Jesus trusted not himself to them, for he knew all men;

²⁵ and for it was not need(ful) to him, that any man should bear witnessing of (a) man, for he knew, what was in (each) man. (and he did not need, that anyone should testify about anyone else, for he knew, what was in each person.)

¹⁸ Therfor the Jewis answeriden, and seiden to hym, What token schewist thou to vs, that thou doist these thingis?

¹⁹ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, Vndo ye this temple, and in thre daies Y schal reise it.

²⁰ Therfor the Jewis seiden to hym, In fourti and sixe yeer this temple was bildid, and schalt thou in thre daies reise it?

²¹ But he seide of the temple of his bodi.

²² Therfor whanne he was risun fro deeth, hise disciplis hadden mynde, that he seide these thingis of his bodi; and thei bileueden to the scripture, and to the word that Jhesus seide.

²³ And whanne Jhesus was at Jerusalem in pask, in the feeste dai, many bileueden in his name, seynge his signes that he dide.

²⁴ But Jhesus trowide not hym silf to hem, for he knewe alle men;

²⁵ and for it was not nede to hym, that ony man schulde bere witnessyng, for he wiste, what was in man.

¹⁸ the Jews then answered and said to him, 'What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?'

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them, 'Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.'

²⁰ The Jews, therefore, said, 'Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?'

²¹ but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

²² when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

²³ And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

²⁴ and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all men,

²⁵ and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man.
