Matthew 26:61

Chinese Bible 1933 (Traditional) (王元德《新式標點新約全書》)

這個人曾說，我能拆毀上帝的殿，三日內又建造起來。

这是什么意思？

This verse describes a false accusation against Jesus during his trial. Someone falsely claims that Jesus said he could destroy and rebuild the temple in three days, which misinterprets Jesus' original statement.

儿童解释

Imagine someone saying you told a big secret to all your friends when you never did. That’s what happened here - people were saying Jesus did something he didn’t actually do.

历史背景

Matthew wrote this account after the life and death of Jesus, likely around AD 80-90 for Jewish Christians in a Greek-speaking environment. The temple was central to Jewish worship, so any claims about it would be significant.
