This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
63. ἐμνήσθημεν. ‘We remembered,’ it occurred to us, aorist of an action just past.

πλάνος … πλάνη, ‘deceiver’ … ‘deceit.’ The relation between the two words is lost in A.V.

Μετὰ τρεῖς κ.τ.λ. For this present cp. ch. Mat 24:41, Mat 26:2.

It appears from this that the priests and Pharisees understood the true import of Christ’s words, ‘Destroy this temple, and after three days I will raise it up,’ which they wilfully misinterpreted to the people.
