This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
21. ἔλεγεν. Was speaking. Even if inspiration be set aside, S. John’s explanation must be admitted as the true one. What better interpreter of the mind of Jesus can be found than ‘the disciple whom Jesus loved’? And he gives the interpretation not as his only, but as that of the disciples generally. Moreover, it explains the ‘three days,’ which interpretations about destroying the old Temple-religion and raising up a new spiritual theocracy do not. Ναός is also used of Christians, the spiritual Body of Christ, 1Co 3:16-17; 1Co 6:19; 2Co 6:16. For the genitive of apposition see Winer, p. 666.
