John 2:20

Thai Bible (TNCV) 2007 - New Contemporary Version (พระคริสตธรรมคัมภีร์ไทย ฉบับอมตธรรมร่วมสมัย)

พวกยิวทูลตอบว่า “วิหารนี้ต้องใช้เวลาสร้างถึงสี่สิบหกปี ท่านจะยกขึ้นใหม่ในสามวันหรือ?”

ข้อนี้หมายความว่าอะไร?

In this verse from John's gospel, the Jewish leaders are responding to Jesus after he says something about destroying and rebuilding their temple in three days. They point out that it took 46 years to build the temple they're referring to, so they think what Jesus is saying doesn't make sense.

อธิบายสำหรับเด็ก

Imagine you spent a whole summer building a big sandcastle with your friends, but someone came along and said they could rebuild an even bigger one in just a day. That's how surprising it was when Jesus talked about rebuilding the temple quickly!
