Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 2:18-22.


John 2:21

_ _ temple of his body — in which was enshrined the glory of the eternal Word. (See on John 1:14). By its resurrection the true Temple of God upon earth was reared up, of which the stone one was but a shadow; so that the allusion is not quite exclusively to Himself, but takes in that Temple of which He is the foundation, and all believers are the “lively stones.” (1 Peter 2:4, 1 Peter 2:5).
