John 2:19

19 Jesus responded and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” ^{▼▼2:19The word ‘Solvite’ is not so much ‘destroy’ as it is to loosen or release or set free. Jesus is referring primarily to his own death, which is not his destruction, but the separation of his soul from his body, a kind of loosening or release.(Conte)}
