Matthew26:61
61 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Mark saith, Ch. 14.57, 58, 59. And there arose certain, and bare false Witness against him, saying, We heard him say, I will destroy this Temple, that is made with Hands, and within three Days I will build another made without Hands. But neither so did their Witness agree together. These are called by the Evangelists, false Witnesses; our Saviour said, Ioh. 2.19. Destroy ye this Temple, and in three Days I will raise it up, Speaking of his Body, as Iohn tells us there. v. 21. he did not say, I will destroy this Temple, made with Hands, and within three Days I will Build another, made without Hands. But Mark saith, These Witnesses could not agree in their Tale, or their Testimony, tho agreeing was not sufficient to make him guilty of a Capital Crime. The High Priest must use some other Arts.
